Digipass Authentication for Citrix Web Interface Overview
1.1.2.2
Backup
A Backup Server can provide redundancy and failover. It is typically a local machine which, if the Primary
Authentication Server is busy or cannot be contacted, will be used until a connection to the Primary Server can be re-established.
Connection Options
Terminology
Some of the terms used in configuring server connections are explained below:
Maximum Connections
The maximum number of connections that the IIS 6 Module may have open to the Authentication Server at one time.
Timeout
The time that the IIS 6 Module should wait for a reply from the Authentication Server.
Reconnect Interval
If the IIS 6 Module cannot connect to an Authentication Server, it will make connection attempts at increasing time intervals until it succeeds in establishing a connection. The time period between connection attempts is the
Reconnect Interval.
Figure 2 – Standard Server Connection Configuration
This setup uses one main Authentication Server to handle requests from the Web Server, with a backup
Authentication Server for use when the main Server is busy or unavailable.
