Testing RSA SecurID infrastructure failover

[skarayil]

Hi,

 I am looking for a test plan to test failover of SecurID setup. The setup has 2 clusters with IDR, RSAAM and CAS integration.  The goal is to test the failover and fail-back of the systems and validate the setup.  Any suggestions and recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you looking to test the token failover feature?

I am looking to test failover between the IDRs as well as the Auth managers when end users authenticate.

If your appliances  are hosted in a virtual environment, you can simply disable the vNIC on the appliance which you would like to test the failover on, which then authentication should be redirected to the live appliance which the protected application is seeing.

Got it! So re-enabling the vNic would restore the active role, right?

Yes, it will make the appliance live again.

Got it! Thanks Hassan.  Appreciate your inputs very much!
