Updating The Access Gateway; Restarting The Access Gateway Service Provider - Novell ACCESS MANAGER 3.1 SP1 - GATEWAY GUIDE Manual

3.3.1 Updating the Access Gateway

When a configuration change has been made, but not applied, the Access Gateway is in an Update
status on the Access Gateways page. If the Access Gateway is a member of a cluster, the cluster is in
an Update All status. You can click Update to apply the configuration change to a single Access
Gateway or Update All to apply the configuration change to all members of a cluster.
If the changes have been saved to browser cache, but not to the configuration store, the changes are
lost if your session times out before you apply the changes. The Access Gateway remains in an
Update status, but when you click Update, there are no changes to apply. If you prefer to update
members of a cluster one at a time, it is best to save the changes to the configuration datastore before
applying them. Click Edit, then click Save.
When you click Update, three options are displayed:
When you have modified services of the Access Gateway, the update option for All
Configuration is available. Depending upon what has been modified, updating might cause
logged in users to lose data and their connections.
When the ESP logging settings have been modified on the Identity Server, the update option for
Logging Settings is available. The Logging Settings option causes no interruption in services.
If a policy is modified that the server has enabled for a protected resource or a protected
resource has a policy enabled or disabled and the policy changes are the only modifications that
have occurred, the update option for Policy Settings is available. The Policy Settings option
causes no interruption in services.
When you make the following configuration changes, the Update All option is the only option
available and your site will be unavailable while the update occurs:
The Identity Server configuration that is used for authentication is changed. To access this
option, click Access Gateways > Edit > Reverse Proxy/Authentication, then select a different
value for the Identity Server Cluster option.
A different reverse proxy is selected to be used for authentication. To access this option, click
Access Gateways > Edit > Reverse Proxy/Authentication, then select a different value for the
Reverse Proxy option.
The protocol or port of the authenticating reverse proxy is modified. To access this option, click
Access Gateways > Edit > Reverse Proxy/Authentication > [Name of Reverse Proxy], then
change the SSL options or the port options.
The published DNS name of the authentication proxy service is modified. To access this
option, click Access Gateways > Edit > Reverse Proxy/Authentication > [Name of Reverse
Proxy] > [Name of First Proxy Service], then modify the Published DNS Name option.
