The current configuration of Session Broker requires a floppy drive because the encryption key is on a floppy disk. If you do not have a floppy drive, you can still configure Session Broker using an updated keyinstall.nlm.
Create a text file in sys:/etc/called keyinst.cfg on any server that uses Session Broker.
NOTE:If this file does not exist, Session Broker reads the file from the floppy drive.
In the keyinst.cfg file, add a single line with the path for your session.dat file.
For example:
sys:/etc/proxy/data/session.dat
Reboot the server to initialize the keyinst.cfg file.
On your primary Session Broker server, open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and initiate the following command:
createsessionbrokerkey
The session.dat file is specified in Step 2 during this procedure.
IMPORTANT:You need to get a copy of the session.dat file before you complete Step 5 because the file gets deleted for security reasons. You need to place the session.dat file on each server that uses Session Broker.
Open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and initiate the following command:
installsessionbrokerkey
Complete Step 5 on each server (including the primary server) that uses Session Broker.
On the primary and secondary servers, initiate the following set command:
set authentication sessionbrokerenable=yes
Reboot the primary session broker and let it come up. Then reboot all the other servers that participate in the session brokerage.
