If you want the SiPass plugin role to support failover, you must add backup servers in the configuration of the plugin role.

Before you begin

Expansion servers are available in your system as backup servers.

What you should know

The SiPass plugin role can support failover of the following components:
  • Server on which the plugin role is running.
  • Server of the Security Center Directory.
To add backup servers to the Directory, see Adding expansion servers. You can access this information by pressing F1 in Config Tool.

Procedure

  1. From the homepage in Config Tool, open the Plugins task.
  2. In the Plugins task, select the SiPass plugin from the entity browser, and click the Resources tab.
  3. In Servers, click Add an item (), and select a server.
  4. Click Add > Apply.

Results

If the server of the SiPass plugin role fails, Security Center will automatically switch the role to a backup server.
