Symantec Access Management

Hi, We are using Siteminder 12.52 version running on Linux and leveraging OUD as user store .however we would like to have NLB (Big-IP F5) in front of the User store for Siteminder to talk with the directory. Is this supported configuration? Let me know. Appreciate the input.

Hi,

As per the existing discussion below, the answer would be ‘NO’.

Does CA Single Sign-On 12.52 support a load balancer between Policy Server and ADLDS Policy Stores?

I hope this would help.

Hello, The question is meant for user directory or user store. Does CA support LB configuration on the policy server for user store /directory? 

Let me know.

Hi,

My apology. However, the answer seems ‘No’ either. As per the existing Tech Document, NLB is not recommended due to the reasons listed in it.

TEC511560: Is this a good idea to use third-party load balancers?

Hi, Thanks for the response. How ever the Tech document says its applicable for 6 and 12. We are running with 12.52 version. Would there be any change on SM 12.52 to support NLB or is it same as old version for NLB support is concerned?

Thanks,

Shan

Hi,

The latter is yes, i.e., it is same as old version for NLB support is concerned.

The document TEC511560 is still applicable to r12.5x because the Release Notes of r12.5x do not state any change related to User directory connectivity.
