SSO Health Monitor

Good day everyone,

 

We have a health monitor that monitors our server web pages and it is quite simple:

 

Send String GET /trident/login.seam HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

Receive String HTTP/1.1 200 OK

 

This monitor however does not work for SSO. We recently started deploying SSO websites and now I cannot monitor them with this monitor.

 

Can anyone direct me to something that would work for monitoring our web site with SSO? An example would be ideal.

 

Thank you for your time.

    if the string you set the monitor to GET is not available on the other sites, monitor fails. try working with HTTP HEAD monitor.

    eben90: Thank you for the reply. Since I'm new at this would you happen to have a web site that might explain this in more detail with maybe some examples?

    You could always use curl to simulate healthcheck.

     

    curl --header "X-MyHeader: 123"

     

    Please check with your SSO vender for detail implementation.

    James,

     

    Thanks for the reply. Do you have any sites that would go into setting this up?

    On the monitor page alone, can you remove SSO, I've seen it in my past troubleshootings. Webserver team can do that.
