Portal Server and Access Manager on Different Nodes
Figure 5-8 shows configuration allowing authentication throughput coming from Portal Server to be load-balanced across the two Access Managers.
This configuration could be implemented when the Portal Server resides on a high-end medium to large server (that is 1 to 4 processors) with a very wide bandwidth network connection. The Access Managers with the policy and authentication services could be on two medium-size servers.
