All IMPAX user information is stored in the ADAM database. To ensure that there is always an ADAM instance available to authenticate users on the Clients, create a replica copy of the ADAM database on a second Application Server. After configuring the ADAM replica, the ADAM database is replicated every 15 seconds between the two ADAM instances.
Follow this procedure when replicating an ADAM database on another Windows 2003 server.
 | Note: You must be an administrator user in Windows on the Application Server with the original ADAM instance or a domain user to create a replica of the ADAM database. |
