Install Proficy Authentication on Cluster Nodes

This topic describes Proficy Authentication installation setup in a high available environment.

Before you begin

For a fresh installation, you can proceed directly with the procedural steps outlined in this topic. However, if you intend to use an existing database, follow these steps before you begin with the procedural steps:
  1. Log in to the node server (Node1 or Node2) where you want to install Proficy Authentication. In failover cluster manager, make sure that the cluster is configured to use the shared drive (from NodeX). For example, if you plan to install on Node1, then the shared drive E:\ should be accessible on Node1.
  2. Copy your existing Proficy Authentication database (located in the Postgress database location) to the shared drive.
  3. Make a note of the location path where you copied the database. For example, E:\postgres\uaa. You need to provide this path during Proficy Authentication installation.
You should also download the latest Operations Hub ISO installation media from Salesforce. Then mount the file and place the files and folders in a shared drive accessible to the nodes in a cluster.

About this task

To install Proficy Authentication on the iSCSI initiators (Node1 and Node2), make sure the shared drive in available on the node where you want to run the installation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the iSCSI initiator Node1 server.
  2. Open Failover Cluster Manager and verify that the cluster role is associated to the node where you want to install Proficy Authentication.
  3. In the downloaded ISO files/folders, open the UAA folder and run Proficy_Authentication_Bundle.exe to start Proficy Authentication installation.
    The welcome screen appears.
  4. Do the following:
    Screen Do This
    Welcome Select Next.
    TCP port check Select Next.
    Host Names In All Host Names field, enter the fully qualified domain name of the client access point, followed by the client access point itself, and then any additional hostname/s (see screenshot).
    Proficy Authentication Service Enter the following fields and select Next.
    • Admin Client ID
    • Admin Client Secret
    • Re-enter Secret
    Note: In a clustered environment, ensure that the client id and secret are identical across nodes (Node1 and Node2) to facilitate the application's access to shared resources.
    Select Drive for Programs and Data To associate an existing database, enter the shared drive location path where you copied the Proficy Authentication database. Refer to the steps at the beginning of this topic.
    You are ready to install Select Install.

Results

After completing the installation steps, you should have successfully installed Proficy Authentication on one node. Repeat the same process on the other node to ensure the application is installed on both nodes in the cluster.
