Before installing and configuring Application Engine or Workplace XT in a highly available
environment, verify that your load balancer or proxy server has been
set up correctly.
Procedure
Identify the Base URL for the load balancer or proxy server When installing any components that request the URL of a deployed
Workplace or
Workplace XT instance in a highly available
configuration, you must use the URL that directs users to your load-balancing
or proxy device.
Tip: Do not specifying a single Application Engine/Workplace XT server. This will introduce
a single point of failure in the environment.
If you are using
load-balancer or proxy device in your configuration you must use the
load-balancer or proxy device to log on to
Workplace or
Workplace XT for the first time. Doing
this ensures that the Base URL setting, which must be set to the load-balancer
or proxy URL, is correctly set.
If the application is deployed to
a farm of application servers, and a load-balancer is configured for
this farm, then a URL could be:
- Application Engine: http://loadbalancer
URL:loadbalancer port/Workplace
- Workplace XT: http://loadbalancer
URL:loadbalancer port/WorkplaceXT Use
this URL when completing the installation steps.
