Geo: Add workaround tips for Unified URL case

Michael Kozono requested to merge mkozono-master-patch-92287 into master

What does this MR do?

From https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C32LCGC1H/p1676306167199109:

I have a question about the behavior for authentication with Geo and multiple secondaries using unified url. When attempting to view a page under admin panel on a Secondary, after login (local login w/root account) we get redirected to the unified url, and presumably the primary. I am just wondering if this is expected? Is there a document that shows the route it takes for this request?

This MR adds workaround tips specifically for Unified URL. For "separate URLs", you can easily visit any secondary site via its external URL.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
