Bypassing CAS when using a load balance

[Scott Marshall]

We not using the services management tool, and I could guess we could add another entry, but wouldn't that mean another service theme?

Can a service theme be defined with more than one URL?  Can you make 2 services that use the same theme?

I might be a bit confused, and that could be my problem.

Are you using the services management tool?  Can't you just add another entry?  I'm not sure I follow.

So this is my situation:



I have a web application behind a load balancer along with a CAS Cluster.  We are using service driven themes.



CAS is setup to point to the domain name of the load balance whenever one of the app servers needs someone to authenticate, which works out very well for production.



As an operations manager, from time to time I need to check on a specific app server's responses directly; therefore I bypass the load balancer via a back door from our local LAN.



Here's my problem:  CAS only knows about the service that is defined at the domain of the load balancer.  How do I get CAS to allow me to contact the app server directly without throwing an error that the domain is correct?    Is there any easy way to build in a back door or at least have the same service defined by more than one domain?



Thanks,

Scott
