High-Performance and High-Reliability System

• If the repository server (update system) stops operation as the result of some problem, user
authentication fails even when the repository server (reference system) can operate normally.
• The authentication server may attempt to re-connect to the first repository server that failed before
the re-connection interval (as specified as an environment setting on the authentication server)
elapses.
Linkage with SSL Accelerator
Interstage Single Sign-on allows SSL Accelerator to be installed between the client and authentication
server to speed up client certificate authentication and SSL communication when the authentication
method is "password authentication," "certificate authentication," or "password authentication and
certificate authentication".

The linkage with SSL Accelerator must be defined in the authentication server.
