Microsoft CMS on Web Farms
|
|
| Arjuna 2006-04-28, 1:21 am |
| Hi,
We are currently planning on developing a Microsoft CMS Web Site (ASP.NET
2.0) that is capable of running on a Web Farm(NLB). Is this possible in the
first place using Microsoft CMS and if so what should I keep an eye out for.
We are still in the design phase of this project so any suggestions are
welcome.
Thanks
Arjuna.

| Hi Arjuna,
MCMS is often used in a NLB webfarm. Be aware that you need to use the
enterprise edition of MCMS.
We have a whitepaper that shows how to use MCMS in a webfarm together with
Application Center which can be used to hold the data and metabase settings
in sync between the different machines:

| Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply, it did help me in obtaining a basic idea of Microsoft
CMS and Clustering but what I really want to know is that do I need to look
into any particular areas when designing and implementing a CMS Solution
inteneded to run on a NLB web farm.
Thanks
Arjuna.

| Hi Arjuna,
you should not store any data in session or application level variables - or
you would need to use an additional state server.
The rest is more a configuration thing: you need to sync the ASP.NET machine
keys to ensure that the authentication cookie encryption and the viewstate
encryption is identical on all machines.
In addition you need to sync the MCMS encryption key using the managekey.exe
tool in the bin directory of your server.
Cheers,
Stefan
