primary instance
The installed deployment where authentication and all administrative actions are
performed.
promotion, for disaster recovery
The process of configuring a replica instance to become the new primary instance.
During promotion, the original primary instance is detached from the deployment. All
configuration data referring to the original primary instance is removed from the new
primary instance.
promotion, for maintenance
The process of configuring a replica instance to become the new primary instance
when all instances are healthy. During promotion, a replica instance is configured as a
primary instance. The original primary instance is demoted and configured as a replica
instance.
provisioning
See token provisioning.
provisioning data
The provisioning server-defined data. This is a container of information necessary to
complete the provisioning of a token device.
RADIUS
See Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.
RBA
See risk-based authentication.
RBA integration script
A script that redirects the user from the default logon page of a web-based application
to a customized logon page. This allows Authentication Manager to authenticate the
user with risk-based authentication. To generate an integration script, you must have
an integration script template.
realm
A realm is an organizational unit that includes all of the objects managed within a
single deployment, such as users and user groups, tokens, password policies, and
agents. Each deployment has only one realm.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
A protocol for administering and securing remote access to a network. A RADIUS
server receives remote user access requests from RADIUS clients, for example, a
VPN.
replica instance
The installed deployment where authentication occurs and at which an administrator
can view the administrative data. No administrative actions are performed on the
replica instance.
replica package
A file that contains configuration data that enables the replica appliance to connect to
the primary appliance. You must generate a replica package before you set up a replica
appliance.
