Editing Cluster Details

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers > [name of the cluster configuration].

    The Cluster Details page contains the following tabs:

    • Details: To modify the cluster name or its settings, click Edit, then continue with Step 2.

    • Health: Click to view the health of the cluster.

    • Alerts: Click to view the alerts generated by members of the cluster.

    • Statistics: Click to view the statistics of the cluster members.

  2. Modify the following details as required:

    Field

    Description

    Cluster Communication Backchannel

    Specify a communications channel over which the cluster members maintain the integrity of the cluster. For example, this TCP channel is used to detect new cluster members as they join the cluster, and to detect members that leave the cluster. A small percentage of this TCP traffic is used to help cluster members determine which cluster member can handle a request more efficiently. This back channel must not be confused with the IP address/port over which cluster members provide proxy requests to peer cluster members.

    • Port: Specify the TCP port of the cluster back channel on all Identity Servers in the cluster. 7801 is the default TCP port.

    • Encrypt: Encrypts the content of the messages that are sent between cluster members.

    Level Four Switch Port Translation

    Configure the L4 switch to translate the port of the incoming request to a new port when the request is sent to a cluster member. Because the cluster members communicate with each other over the same IP address/port as the L4 switch, the cluster implementation needs to know what that port is. The translated port is the port on the cluster members where other cluster members can contact it. This is the IP address and port where cluster members provide proxy requests to other cluster members.

    • Port translation is enabled on switch: Specify whether the port of the L4 switch is different from the port of the cluster member. For example, enable this option when the L4 switch is using port 443 and Identity Server is using port 8443.

    • Cluster member translated port: Specify the port of the cluster member.

  3. Click OK and then update Identity Server when prompted.
