Junctioned back-end servers

Website content can be served by the WebSEAL server itself, back-end servers, or a combination of both. WebSEAL junction support for back-end servers allows you to scale the website through additional content and resources.

Each unique back-end server must be junctioned to a separate junction mount point. As the demand for additional content grows, more servers can be added through junctions. This scenario provides a solution for networks that have a large existing investment in third-party web servers.

The combined web spaces of the two back-end servers are transparent to the user and allows for centralized management.
