Accessing the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Configuration Tool<br />

When the Login page appears, enter the login password for the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong><br />

Configuration Tool, and click Login. If you have not changed the password from<br />

the default, enter arsystem.<br />

After you log in, the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Configuration Tool Overview page appears. It<br />

displays the current settings for your installation. Use the navigation pane at the<br />

left to select configuration tasks.<br />

Using the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Configuration Tool with a load balancer<br />

MIME types<br />

If you are using the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Configuration Tool with a load balancer, you must<br />

use the web server’s real IP address, not a virtual IP address, to open the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong><br />

Configuration Tool. Explicitly configure each mid tier instance directly, not<br />

through the load balancer’s virtual IP. The <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Configuration Tool will not<br />

function as expected if you use a virtual server to open it.<br />

Each web server must have its own mid tier. You must configure each mid tier<br />

individually, and you must configure each mid tier identically.<br />

<strong>BMC</strong> recommends configuring the load balancer without using a “sticky bit”<br />

(session affinity) to allow sessions from any mid tier server to be distributed to any<br />

AR <strong>System</strong> server on the fly. For more information, see “Connection settings” on<br />

page 45.<br />

A persistent session allows login content to be maintained. Session migration<br />

between JSP engine instances is not supported.<br />

If you have an application that requires mapping to another application to view it,<br />

you can set multipurpose internet mail extensions (MIME) types in the JSP engine<br />

engine configuration, typically by using the graphical user interface. You can also<br />

set MIME types manually by adding them to the web.xml file.<br />
