HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02 Administrator's Guide

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 197)
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.
