<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi All,</div><div><br></div><div>We're currently running a single Shib 3.3.x IdP instance but we're planning on setting up a second instance and load balancing them for high availability.</div><div><br></div><div>For the most part, I assume they should be setup identically -- same hostname, entityID, Metadata, signing cert, etc. Aside from different IPs, the only other difference between them that I'm aware of is that the same DataSealer key should be used on both hosts; in other words, they shouldn't both be running a cron job to rotate the keys.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there anything else that should be unique to each host?</div><div><br></div><div>I've been reading some documentation on setting up an HA environment and I realize that there are other factors that need to be considered; for example, potentially making storage entities persistent (e.g. storing their values in a database). But at this point, I'm just looking at the 'base' IdP setup.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jason</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><pre cols="72">Jason Rotunno
