6 Managing HP-UX AAA Servers
Your server configuration can be synchronized and controlled across one or more server
installations. These server installations can be on the same machine as the Server
Manager program, or on different machines. Server Manager identifies each AAA
installation as a server connection and maps a hostname to the IP address (both
traditional IPv4, and IPv6 address formats are supported) or DNS name of a remote
machine where a AAA server is installed.
Starting with HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00 release, HP-UX AAA Server Manager supports
administering multiple HP-UX AAA Servers on the same host for scalability. Also,
HP-UX AAA Servers can be distributed on different hosts for high-availability. For
more information, see Chapter 18 (page 273)
NOTE: Before defining a connection, ensure that the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet
Engine is running on the machine.
You cannot configure servers until a server connection is established. All configuration
modifications are saved locally and are not associated with any server. A connection
named localhost is configured as a server connection by default during installation.
