Configuring the 
BlackBerry 2FA
 server for high availability

You can use the same ports for all 
BlackBerry 2FA
 servers. 
To maintain the unique encryption of configuration information, it is recommended that you do not copy the bb2fa-config.json file between 
BlackBerry 2FA
 servers. You must configure each server separately in the 
BlackBerry UEM
 management console.
