This document provides instructions for configuring multiple API manager instances to avoid port conflicts and share authentication. The key steps are: 1. Maintain 3 separate API manager instances and change the "offset" value in carbon.xml to avoid port conflicts. 2. Disable the Thrift server in the second and third instances by changing the api-manager.xml. 3. Configure the authentication manager and API key validator in the second and third instances to point to the first instance for authentication. 4. Add environment configurations for two gateways to the first instance's api-manager.xml file.
