Add a Node to a Load Balancer

Once you have configured a load balancer to use restricted mode, you can add on or more nodes to that server. Before you can do that however, the user calling the Kofax.KSMS.Administration.exe tool must be a member of the "KSMS Administrators" group that is configured during installation. If the user is not part of this user group, they do not have the necessary permissions to perform this action.

You can add a node to a Load Balancer by following these steps:

  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command:

    Kofax.KSMS.Administration.exe /a LoadBalancerAddress="localhost" LoadBalancerPort="22001" NodeAddress="localhost" NodePort="22000"

    The node is added to the load balancer.
