Add a Web-Tier Deployment RecordAdd a Web-Tier Deployment Record
A web-tier deployment record must exist in the database on the primary instance before you can install a web tier. The web-tier deployment record establishes communication from the primary instance to web tier.
An instance can have up to 16 web tiers. Each web tier requires a web-tier deployment record.
In the last step of this procedure you can either generate the web-tier deployment package now or generate it at a later date. The web-tier deployment package contains the information that RSA Authentication Manager uses to connect a web tier to the associated instance. The web-tier deployment package is required prior to installing the web tier. If you generate the web-tier package now, you can install the web tier now.
Before you begin
-
You must be a Super Admin.
-
If you are installing a new web-tier deployment, configure a virtual hostname, listening port, and load balancer. For instructions, see Configure a Load Balancer and Virtual Host.
