Problem:
The Centrify agent chooses a connector based on the site as defined in Active Directory Sites and Services. If the site is not defined in AD, the agent selects a connector randomly. This can lead to a selected connector that is not the ideal for the agent given the topology of the network. Performance degradation can occur if the incorrect connector is chosen.
Resolution:
In release 18.11, additional methods have been introduced to allow more exact methods of selecting the connector. The connector choice is made based on the following:
- The connector has the same AD site and same subnet as the agent.
- The connector has the same AD site but a different subnet as the agent.
- The connector has a different site and different subnet as the agent.
- The connector is chosen at random.
** NOTE: This feature is not available on the AIX platform. On AIX, the agent will randomly select a connector.
