Server Identity introduced to enhance security

dodster

If I have 3 Environments for MFT (Prod, DR and Non Prod), all environments with paired servers behind a Load Balancer.

Would I create a server identity for each environment (3) or would I create 1 server identity accross my entire suite of MFT.?

ie Prod Load balancer has 2 MFT nodes, DR LB has 2 Nodes and Non Prod has 2 nodes.
Please advise

    Support Response:

    1. Create A Server Identity in the 1st of a Pair of Nodes behind a load Balancer
    2. Export the Server Identity, then import this identity to the 2nd node of the Load balanced pair
    3. As I have 3 Environments (Prod, DR and Non Prod) essentially I have 3 Server Identities

    -> This is correct.

    If I ever have to Modify my MFT Configuration in the future, can I still perform the Migrate to another server as per, this would be per environment?

    Only Serv-U Local Administrators or fully privileged System Administrators can export and import Server Identities.

    Hope this helps others!
