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 Fudo PAM cluster, proceed as follows.

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

  1. Provide node’s name and optional description.
  2. Provide node’s IP address.

Note

Management option has to be enabled on given network interface. Refer to Network settings: Network interfaces configuration for details on configuring network interfaces.

Note

Each Fudo PAM instance has a defined number of resources dedicated to OCR processing. If the OCR option is selected, excess of sessions that cannot processed locally at the moment, is forwarded for processing to selected node.

  1. In the Relations section of the primary node, click Add.
  1. Select the cluster node to which the data from the given node will be replicated.
  2. Select which data will be replicated.
  1. Click Submit, to add node definition.
  2. Copy cluster key to clipboard.
  3. Log in to administration panel of the joining node.
  4. Select Settings > Cluster.
  5. Click Join cluster.

  1. Paste cluster public SSH key and click Submit.
