The Identity Servers page is the starting point for managing Identity Servers. You can use this page to stop and start servers, and to assign servers to Identity Server clusters. Identity Server cannot operate until you assign it to an Identity Server cluster.
Click Devices > Identity Servers.
Under the Servers tab, the following options are available:
New Cluster: Creates a new cluster configuration. See Creating a Cluster Configuration.
Start: Starts the selected server. See Restarting Identity Server.
Stop: Stops the selected server. See Restarting Identity Server.
Refresh: Refreshes the server list.
Actions: Enables you to perform the following tasks:
Assign to Cluster: Enables you to assign a server to a cluster configuration. See Assigning an Identity Server to a Cluster Configuration.
Remove from Cluster: Enables you to remove one or more servers from a configuration. See Removing a Server from a Cluster Configuration.
Delete: Deletes the selected server.
IMPORTANT:The system does not allow you to delete a running Identity Server. You must first stop the server before deleting it. Deleting removes the configuration object from the configuration store on Administration Console. To remove the server from the machine where it is installed, run the uninstall script on the server machine.
Update Health from Server: Performs a health check for the device.
Export Configuration: Enables you to export Identity Server configuration to another setup. See Section 32.5, Exporting the Configuration Data.
Import Configuration: Enables you to import Identity Server configuration from another setup. See Section 32.6.3, Importing the Identity Server Configuration Data.
