Best Practice: How to Separate Adaxes Roles Effectively?

Question

We are looking at separating our adaxes roles into application/service console and web servers. We already have separate web servers in order to separate our admin console and self service console that is accessible externally but we are lookin at further separating these so that we have 3 separate clusters. 1 for Adaxes Service, 1 for Admin Web Interface, and 1 for Self Service Web Interface.

When separating these, Should the SPML Web Service go on the Admin Web Servers or stay with the Adaxes Service?

Hello Mark,

we are lookin at further separating these so that we have 3 separate clusters. 1 for Adaxes Service, 1 for Admin Web Interface, and 1 for Self Service Web Interface.

When you install an instance of Adaxes Web Interface, all the Web Interfaces become available from host. If you want to make specific Web Interfaces available only from specific computers, you will need to restrict access to it on other ones.

You can keep Adaxes SPML Provider on the server which suits your needs best. Also, you can install it on a separate server if you like.
