Failover from one WebSEAL server to another

When clients failover from one WebSEAL server to another, there must be some mechanism for the new WebSEAL server to identify the client.

Security architects must choose from several possible options for handling failover events. Each option involves different trade-offs in complexity, security, and performance.

In addition, some options for handling failover events can provide additional functionality, such as single-signon or more flexible session management tools for use by software support personnel and WebSEAL administrators.
