Shibboleth IdP HA

[El Manaa Amine]

Thanks for your answer!
Can you please share the reference documentation for a HA setup? I decided to enable session stickiness when I noticed the session management so would be nice to cross-check with a reference documentation to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Also, I saw in the documentation that there are multiple store options such as database (https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IDP4/pages/1265631707/StorageConfiguration#Storage-Implementations). When to use a storage option over another? Does it play a role when you have a HA setup? I couldn't find an answer

As our documentation explains, the requirement for stickiness only extends to a single conversation/transaction, not across them. Whether that translates into more flexible options depends on your architecture but it's a very different requirement technically.
