18.5.3 Configuring Advanced Authentication Client

To point the Advanced Authentication client to a load balancer, you must make some changes after installing the client on a workstation.

  1. Install Windows Client. To install Windows Client, see Installing Windows Client in the Advanced Authentication - Windows Client guide.

  2. Open the configuration file: C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Windows Client\config.properties.

  3. Set the parameter discovery.host = <IP_address/hostname_loadbalancer>.

    This configuration points Advanced Authentication Client to a load balancer that manages the traffic between the Advanced Authentication server and Advanced Authentication Client (REST API).
