The first thing we need to do is decide which PCs should be Security Manager RPC servers, and which should be clients. The choice is fairly arbitrary, but it is probably a good idea to have at least two servers, for reasons that will become clear later on. For our purposes, we will make the following designations:
|
Machine |
Designation |
IP Address |
|
M1 |
S1 |
192.168.255.1 |
|
M2 |
S2 |
192.168.255.2 |
|
M3 |
S3 |
192.168.255.3 |
|
M4 |
C1 |
192.168.255.4 |
|
M5 |
C2 |
192.168.255.5 |
|
M6 |
C3 |
192.168.255.6 |
These choices are placed in the App\SecurityManager.ini file as follows:
[Clients]
Name = S1
Name = S2
Name = S3
Name = C1
Name = C2
Name = C3
[Servers]
Name = S1
Name = S2
Name = S3
This file must be present on every PC listed. The first server listed (S1) becomes the primary server.
