To configure load balancer access with Virtual Server Manager, set the connection information in the load balancer access setup property file (LB-connection-distinguished-name.properties) on the server machine that is used for virtual-system management. The file name represented by LB-connection-distinguished-name should be a string of 31 or fewer characters starting with a single-byte alphabetic character. It can include alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

Below are examples of configuring the connection information for the load balancers BIG-IP v9 (lb_BIG-IPv9.properties) and AX2500 (lb_AX2500.properties) for direct access through an API.

BIG-IP v9 (lb_BIG-IPv9.properties)

lb.type=BIG-IPv9 lb.host=192.168.2.14 lb.protocol=API lb.port=443 lb.user=user01 lb.password=user01pw lb.timeout=10

AX2500 (lb_AX2500.properties)

lb.type=ACOS lb.host=192.168.2.13 lb.protocol=API lb.port=443 lb.user=user01 lb.password=user01pw lb.persistence.cookie-insert.templatename=VMI_COOKIE_TEMPNAME lb.timeout=10 javax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\\work\\ACOS.keystore javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=keystore_pass

To use the load balancer connection information above, specify LB-connection-distinguished-name for the lb.use key in the property file (tier.properties) for each tier. For the configuration examples above, enter lb_BIG-IPv9 to use BIG-IP v9 and lb_AX2500 to use AX2500.
