Dependent hosts

A dependent host is a FH Web Edition server that is connected to a relay server. FH Web Edition clients cannot connect directly to dependent hosts. Instead, they connect to the associated relay server, and the relay server selects one of the connected servers to host the session.

Users are authenticated on dependent hosts, not on relay servers. As a result, dependent hosts can be located on a different network than their associated relay server.

Example: Dependent hosts can be located behind a firewall on an internal, Active Directory network, and the associated relay server can be located in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) that is outside the firewall.

If integrated Windows authentication is used, clients and dependent hosts must be located on the same domain, but the relay server can be located on a different domain.

Note: You should install the same set of applications on each dependent host, using the same installation path.
