  3. Create and Configure Backplane database

  4. Expand
    titleConfigure a network path for the export files location

    There should be specified a network path that is accessible from all the CXO-Cockpit servers. All the service accounts that CXO-Cockpit components are running under mush be authorized to change files at the specified location


  5. Configure load balancing across all the CXO-Cockpit web servers and enable sticky sessions on the load balancer


  6. Expand
    titleSpecify load balancer url as CXO-Cockpit Dashboard Url

Load Balancer configuration requirements

  1. "Sticky sessions" scenario must be cofigured: all subsequent requests from a certain client must end up to the same CXO-Cockpit server as the first request from that client. The most typical implementation of this scenario is "Cookie-based Persistence"
  2. The requests to the CXO-Cockpit server should include the following haders:
    1. "X-Forwarded-Host" should contain the original host name used in the end-user request. This host name can only equal to the host name used in the CXO-Cockpit Dashboard URL (as configured in the Configurator), otherwise it will be ignored.
    2. "X-Forwarded-Proto" should contain the original protocol used in the end-user request. Note, that this header is not required if the same protocol (HTTPS) is used on load balancer and on the individual CXO-Cockpit servers.
