About the<br />

synchronization<br />

server Configuration<br />

tab<br />

The synchronization server is used to synchronize configuration information<br />

among <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s that are participating in a One-To-Many cluster or an<br />

HA cluster. It also allows you to perform a configuration backup or restore to/<br />

from a remote <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

To configure the synchronization server, log into the Admin Console, select<br />

Services Configuration > Servers and then select synchronization from the<br />

Server Name list. The synchronization server Control tab appears. To enable<br />

or disable a server, select the Control check box for that server for each burb.<br />

(A check mark appears for each burb in which the server is enabled.) To<br />

configure the synchronization server, select the Configuration tab. The<br />

following window appears.<br />

This tab allows you to configure the shared synchronization key and port<br />

number, and allows you to select the SSL certificate for the synchronization<br />

server. Follow the steps below.<br />

Note: The synchronization server is automatically configured for you when you<br />

create a High Availability or One-To-Many cluster.<br />

1 In the Shared Sync Key field, type the shared key. The shared key is any 10<br />

character, alphanumeric string (for example, 12345abcde). You will need to<br />

enter this key again if you configure HA or One-To-Many, or if you perform a<br />

configuration backup or restore from a remote <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

2 In the Port field, specify the port on which the synchronization server will<br />

listen. The default is 9005 and should not be changed.<br />

3 In the SSL Certificate drop-down list, select the certificate to use for the<br />

synchronization server. The certificate will be one <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

• the default certificate<br />

• a self-signed, RSA/DSA certificate that is defined on the Firewall<br />

Certificates tab <strong>of</strong> the Certificate Management window.<br />

Important: Before assigning a new certificate, you must first create a new<br />

certificate.<br />

4 [Conditional] To go to the Firewall Certificates window, click Certificates.<br />

The Firewall Certificates window is used to define new certificates. After<br />

creating a new certificate you can return to the Configuration tab and assign<br />

the new certificate to the synchronization server.
