For canisters that are not the Portal or NT Authentication master server, you must configure the Search server for those Canisters to point to the authentication master server. This configuration can be performed through TMS.
This configuration applies only if you have multiple Canisters in your environment. When a new canister is deployed, configuring the authentication master server should be performed as part of the initial configuration.
At the specified authorization refresh interval, the secondary servers of the authentication master copy the privacy configuration files to their local servers. By default, this updating occurs every five minutes.
- Log in to the Portal as an administrator.
- From the Portal menu, navigate to TMS.
- Click the WorldView tab.
- Select a server that is not the authentication master.
- Click the Search Server node.
- Select Search Server configuration.
- In the Config Actions panel, click View/Edit.
- Under Domain Local groups, click Modify.
- For the Auth Master Server setting, verify that it is pointing the authentication master server, which is typically the Portal Server. Modify the setting, if needed.
Note: For the server that hosts the Search Server that is the authentication master, this setting must be blank. The setting on the authentication master is verified in a later step.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
- When prompted, push this change to all servers and submit the job immediately.
- In the WorldView tab, select the server that is the authentication master.
- Click the Search Server node.
- Select Search Server configuration.
- In the Config Actions panel, click View/Edit.
- Under Domain Local groups, click Modify. For the Auth Master Server setting, this value must be blank.
Note: For the Canister hosting the Search Server that is the authentication server, this setting must be blank.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
- When prompted, do not push the change to other servers.
All canisters should now be properly configured to point to the authentication master server.
