To register a new site and deploy a DB Master server in the site, perform the following steps:
Ensure that you have administrator privileges to access the Advanced Authentication Server Registrar and you have installed but not configured an Advanced Authentication server appliance for a DB Server in the new site.
Open the database port <Registrar_host_name>:5432 on your NAT/Firewall.
Open the Advanced Authentication Configuration Wizard for a new installed server: https://<New_Server_host_name>.
In the first Server Mode step of the Configuration Wizard, select Existing cluster. Click Next.
In the DNS hostname step, specify the server DNS hostname in My DNS hostname. Click Next.
WARNING:You must specify a DNS hostname instead of an IP address because appliance does not support the changing of IP address.
Specify a password for the LOCAL\admin account and click Next on the Password screen.
In the Import database information step, a message Waiting for Global Master.... is displayed.
Switch to the Advanced Authentication - Administrative Portal of the Advanced Authentication Server Registrar and in the Cluster section, click Register new site.
In the Register new site window, specify a host name for the new DB Server in the new site in Master server host.
HINT:If the new server is behind NAT, you can forward its port 443 on a temporary basis and enter external hostname:port. Do not forget to close the port after installation.
Specify a name of the new site in Site name.
Click Register.
After successfully registering, a message Success! Continue server install is displayed. In the DB servers list, DB Master server for the newly created site is displayed. The record is marked by red and Waiting this node to contact me is displayed in its description.
Switch to the new server and click Next.
In the Copy database step click Copy.
Wait until the database is copying from a Global Master server. The server is automatically restarted within 60 seconds once the copying is completes.
Switch to the Advanced Authentication Server Registrar. The newly deployed server is displayed in the DB servers list and may appear in red within 5 minutes after installation.
NOTE:Each of the DB servers in the list are pinged for every 5 minutes. In the case of an issue, the server is marked by red in the list and you can get the details of connectivity issues by clicking View log and replication issues by clicking Conflicts.
Close the database port <Registrar_host_name>:5432 on your NAT/Firewall.
NOTE: You must install the new servers one at a time. Simultaneous installations may cause replication issues.The inter-site replication interval is 10 seconds.
NOTE:It is possible to specify different LDAP servers in Repository configuration on Advanced Authentication servers of different sites.
All changes are replicated only inside a site.
