When an external server is installed, you can set a secondary authentication server to prepare for a case in which the primary authentication server has shut down.
Setting a secondary authentication server automatically changes to the secondary authentication server even if the primary authentication server used for normal operations has shut down, thereby, enabling a user to continuously use this machine.
In the administrator mode, select [User Auth/Account Track] - [External Server Settings] - [Secondary Authentication Server Settings], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
---|---|
[Secondary Authentication Server Settings] | Select [ON] to use the secondary authentication server. [OFF] is specified by default. |
[Reconnection Settings] | Specify the timing at which to reconnect to the primary authentication server. [Set Reconnect Interval] is specified by default.
|
In the administrator mode, select [User Auth/Account Track]-[External Server Settings], then click [Secondary] of the server you want to set as the secondary authentication server.
[Secondary] is displayed when [Secondary Authentication Server Settings] is set to [ON] in step 1.
The external server set as the primary authentication server is set to [Primary].
The same external server cannot be assigned to both the primary and secondary authentication servers.
To check the status of the connection of the primary authentication server and the secondary authentication server, select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Primary/Secondary Server Connection Status] - [External Server Authentication] in the administrator mode. If [Connection Allowed] is displayed, you can connect to both the primary and secondary authentication servers.
