Alternative MPS Configurations
Multiple Master User Configuration
In Figure 7-5, two MPS processes represent different master users and provide
authorization services for different MS groups in the OSI/MHS subsystem. There are
two configuration databases (one for each master user) and two authorization databases
(one for each set of message stores).
In this example, MS2 is configured to use MPS1, which uses configuration database 1.
MS1, MS3, and MS4 are configured to use MPS2, which uses configuration database 2
(representing a different master user).
This configuration can provide a faster response time than a single-process configuration
because there are two MPS processes at work simultaneously, serving different users.
Also, by using two configuration databases, the MS groups can be divided among the
two master users into distinct groups with different allowances or permissions.
