Adding cluster nodes

Warning

  • Session and configuration data (servers, users, safes, accounts, listeners, external authentication servers) of the joining node are deleted and initiated with data replicated from the cluster.
  • Data model objects: safes, users, servers, accounts and listeners are replicated within the cluster and object instances must not be added on each node. In case the replication mechanism fails to copy objects to other nodes, contact technical support department.

To add a node to Wheel Fudo PAM cluster, proceed as follows.

  1. Log in to the Wheel Fudo PAM administration panel where the cluster has been initiated.
  2. Select Settings > Cluster.
  3. Click Add node to display new node configuration parameters.
