Administering resource groups

Edit online

A resource group is a group of web servers that are connected to a Verify Identity Access WebSEAL server and that use the same set of user IDs and passwords.

You can use the administration API to create resource groups. You can then create a single resource credential for all the resources in the resource group. A single resource credential lets you simplify the management of web resources by grouping similar web resources into resource groups.

You can also use the administration API to add more web resources, when necessary, to an existing resource group.

Table 1 lists the methods for administering resource groups.
