Configure WebSEAL for cluster support

Use the [cluster] configuration stanza entries to configure each of the WebSEAL servers in the clustered environment.

We must identify one server to be the master of the WebSEAL cluster. The is-master configuration entry is set to yes for the master server. We can also configure a max-wait-time on the master representing the maximum number of seconds the master server waits for each slave server to be restarted.

All other servers in the cluster must have the is-master configuration entry set to no. These servers are the slaves in the cluster. Configuren additional configuration entry called master-name on each of the slaves. The master-name configuration entry specifies the authorization server name of the master server. For example, default-webseald-master.ibm.com.
