Hi Markus, >>>>>> If found this JVM Parameter in the start-agents.sh example: org.apache.manifoldcf.processid Is that it? <<<<<<
Yes. >>>>>> Another question: You say the authority services webapp is stateless. There is a max connection parameter for authority connections. How will multiple instances treat this parameter?

So the number you give is the maximum number of connection instances across the entire cluster for that connection.
