The server affinity provider can be used to establish an affinity to a particular backend server for certain operations. You can configure one of three types of provider:
  • Client connection Server Affinity, so that requests from the same client connection may consistently be routed to the same backend server.

  • Client IP address Server Affinity, so that all requests coming from the same client system will be consistently routed to the same backend server.

  • Bind DN Server Affinity, so that all requests from the same user will be consistently routed to the same backend server.

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