About server affinity providers

The PingDirectoryProxy server supports the ability to forward a sequence of requests to the same external server if specific conditions are met, called server affinity.

Use the server affinity provider to establish an affinity to a particular backend server for certain operations.

The following provider configurations and server affinity methods are available in the PingDirectoryProxy server:

Client connection Server Affinity

Requests from the same client connection consistently route to the same backend server.

Client IP address Server Affinity

All requests coming from the same client system consistently route to the same backend server.

Bind DN Server Affinity

All requests from the same user consistently route to the same backend server.

For information about configuring server affinity, see Configuring server affinity.
