Configuring a node
A Aurea List Manager node should require little additional configuration after installation. Most of the settings in Aurea List Manager are common to all of the nodes in a cluster, so changing these settings through the web interface on one node affects the change for the entire Aurea List Manager cluster.
The settings that are specific to one node are in Utilities > Administration > Server > Server Settings > Node Settings and Utilities: Administration: Sites.
Note
No additional settings are added as a result of clustering Aurea List Manager
Accessing a Node
- The settings for a particular node can always be accessed by going to that ListManager node's web interface.
- However, most administration of additional nodes is done through the interface of any Aurea List Manager node. When Aurea List Manager is clustered, the node is indicated in the upper right-hand corner of the interface. To change to a different node, click the node name. Find an example below :
- A list of nodes is shown with an asterisk (*) indicating the interface of the node you are logged into.
- Click the name of the node you like to configure. The node now appears in the upper right-hand corner of the interface. The node settings can also be viewed.
- The interface is going to still be for the node you logged into. Statistics and logs in Utilities >
Administration > Server > Operational Statistics and
debug logis still for that node. - The performance for individual nodes and the server as a whole in Reports > Server Performance > Server Sending Speed.
- Any changes made to a node may take several minutes to take effect until the node picks up the changes made.
Node Settings
The server settings for a particular node are in Utilities > Administration > Server > Server Settings > Node Settings; all other server settings are shared by all Aurea List Manager nodes.
In the Node Settings, you may change or enter your license code, set limits for this node, and select IP addresses it should use (if there are multiple IP addresses for the machine). By default, the node is going to be set to use up to the limit set by its license, and any IP address on the machine.
Site Settings
No changes is necessary if you have only one site on Aurea List Manager. It is advised that you check that the correct Internet hostname and URL to web interface are being used for the site in Utilities > Administration > Sites > Edit Site.
If you have multiple sites, it is recommended that you assign a dedicated IP address to each site on each node, so that each site may have its own SMTP and NNTP banner. If multiple sites are using the same IP address, you should configure the sites to use the same banners, so the banner specific to one site is not used for another. For more information, see Utilities: Administration: Sites - Overview.
