Virtual Proxy, Proxy and Multi Node Deployment

simonaubert — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 15:38:15 GMT

Hello all,

We have a multi-node deployment with today one proxy server (P1) linked to a SAML Virtual Proxy (VP1).

If I want to have another node serving as a second proxy server (P2) with SAML, what should I do?
-link proxy server P2 to existing SAML Virtual Proxy (VP1)?
-create another SAML Virtual Proxy (VP2) on the new proxy server (P2)?

Best regards,

edit : doing some archeology. Basically same question and no answer.... from 2015 O_o

IMO you could link the SAML VP1 to the new proxy node. I would keep each node default virtual proxy. Then create a new one for SAML on the new node. Remember the SAML will require a 3rd party cert that you can make server specific.

Thanks.
I will try tomorrow to connect the SAML VP1 to the new proxy node and will let you know.

don't take it for yourself but all this kind of stuff is badly documented while it's pretty difficult to understand and difficult to test.
