Defining a Cluster

A cluster definition contains the configuration information for the eFTL server processes.

1. Create a new cluster definition.
   1. In the eFTL clusters grid, add a new cluster definition row.
   2. Enter the name of the new cluster Cluster Name column.
   3. Optional. In the cluster details panel, add a description of the cluster.
2. Add channels and configure their settings.

   You must add at least one channel.

   For details, see Channel Details Panel.

3. Optional. Connect FTL channels to FTL applications.

   See Connecting FTL Channels to Applications.

4. Optional. Configure authentication.
   1. Select the check box in the Authorization column of eFTL Clusters grid.
   2. Configure the authentication service.
      • If the realm server uses a JAAS authentication service, configure the eFTL authentication service with a tibeftlserver entry in the JAAS realm configuration file.
      • If the realm server uses a flat-file authentication service, configure the eFTL user authentication data in a file, and supply the URL location of that file to the realm server command line parameter --auth.eftl.url.

      See the sample authentication file. See the “Realm Server Authentication" and its sub-topics in TIBCO FTL Administration.

5. For each channel, configure the publish and subscribe authorization groups.

• Connecting FTL Channels to Applications
  The initial configuration of a new FTL channel automatically includes a dynamic TCP transport for the channel's application-facing endpoint. You can extend that transport on the FTL side in either of these two ways.
