Placing a junctioned server in a throttled state

Place a junctioned server in a throttled operational state when we want a controlled and gradual transition of the server to an offline state. The throttled operational state places the following conditions on the junction:

• A throttled server continues to process current and subsequent requests from users with sessions created before the throttle action was taken.
• The throttled server blocks all requests from unauthenticated users and new authenticated users and directs these requests to other available replica servers on the same junction.
• When a request is blocked by a throttled server, it is retried on another replica server. If no replica servers are configured or available, an error page is returned to the user indicating the application server is offline.
• The throttled operational state for a junction is stored in the junction database and is maintained across any restarts of the WebSEAL server.

• Throttle command usage for standard WebSEAL junctions
  
• Throttle command usage for virtual host junctions
