Setting Up a DSAuth Server
DSAuth may be installed and configured on multiple computers to increase
system flexibility. For maximum security, a backup computer running DSAuth
may be added to an existing DS/DSR appliance installation.
The DS Management Software is designed to automatically determine the pri-
mary and backup DSAuth Server. However, you may choose to change these
settings at a later date.
To add a new DSAuth Server:
1. Load the DSView or DSAdmin software and select File - Select Authentication
Server to activate the Select Authentication Server dialog box.
2. Click the Add button on the right side of the dialog box.
3. You will be prompted for a name of the new server. You may enter it in the
provided dialog box or browse for it by clicking the Browse button.
4. You may also enter a backup DSAuth Server for the new server using the
same method in the provided field. If you do not wish to associate a backup,
leave the field blank.
5. Click OK to exit and save changes.
To delete a DSAuth Server:

will remove the primary/secondary pair.
