Configuring the IdP for Clustering
Now, go set up you cluster environment and then proceed to configure the IdP for ClusteringThe above description is mostly focused on the actual Identity Provider servlet itself when it comes to clustering. However, since the IdP relies on other services for authentication and attribute resolution, it is important to also make sure that these services are clustered as well. Therefore, one should make sure in a production environment to:
- Have the IdP servlet running on multiple cluster nodes. How to do this is described in the howto configure the IdP for Clustering.
- Have the attribute resolver configured to use multiple LDAP/AD servers. How this can be done is described in the LDAP Resolver description.
- Also protect the authentication system to make use of clustering. Have a look at the username/password authentication description.
