" Unless someone deliberately messed up, all hosts have a Security database."
Unless you explicitly set it up differently, the Security database that all hosts have in a cluster is *the same database* (A single forest on the first host installed in the cluster).

It is pretty vital. Unless someone deliberately messed up, all hosts have a Security database. Couldn't it replicate that database across all other hosts by default, just like all other server configs are being shared automatically?

The default directory (/opt/MarkLogic/Forests on linux, for example) is known as a "private directory." For the procedure to move a forest to a public directory, see this section of the doc: http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/cluster/config-both-failover#id_57935 and this section: http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/cluster/config-both-failover#id_74893 Once you do that, you should be able to set up failover on that forest. -Danny ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [[email protected]] on behalf of Abhishek53 S [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 6:04 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Failed over Security Database Hi, I am trying rename and add forest-failover to the default "Security" database and getting exception Invalid input: Failover is not allowed for private forest: Security Please advise Abhishek Srivastav Tata Consultancy Services Mailto: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Website: http://www.tcs.com ____________________________________________ Experience certainty.
