| Description | One of KeyServer's major benefits is that it provides centralized management of an entire library of programs over a network. This benefit is also a potential pitfall: If license service is not available at all times, users could be left without access to needed programs, and would therefore be locked out of getting their work done. If your network is not entirely robust, and some of your users cannot use programs critical to their work, the benefits of central management diminish. To solve the problem of this single point of failure, KeyServer implements a network-redundancy strategy called shadowing. With shadowing, the network administrator sets up automatic backup servers called KeyShadows in critical locations around the network. KeyShadows maintain a network connection to the main KeyServer, and automatically take over service for the KeyServer whenever this connection is broken. When the connection is re-established, the KeyShadow passes service back to the central KeyServer. This process is transparent to the users of keyed programs running under any version of the Mac or Windows operating systems, regardless of which protocol they are using to connect to the KeyServer. |
