Configure the Second Secure Proxy Server Properties File

Set the parameters for the second Secure Proxy Server instance.

Copy the properties file from the first Secure Proxy Server instance and change only the parameters that are different for the second instance. Remember to rename and back up the new properties file after you complete the parameters.

You need the following information to complete the Secure Proxy Server parameters.

General Information:

• Your second (failover) SiteMinder Policy Server host name
• Your second (failover) CA IAM Connector Server host name
• The host name of the system where you plan to install the second (failover) Identity Management Server

From the SiteMinder Policy Server properties file:

• _ps_admin_password

Follow these steps:

1. On the first Secure Proxy Server system, copy the properties.sh file that you just configured.
2. Navigate to /tmp/properties.sh on the second Secure Proxy Server system. Replace the properties.sh file with the configured copy from the first Secure Proxy Server system.
3. Change the following parameter values:

   _policy_server_hostname

   Enter the host name for the second SiteMinder Policy Server you installed.

   _im_hostname

   Enter the host name of the system where you plan to install the second Identity Management Server.

   _jcs_hostname

   Enter the host name for the second CA IAM Connector Server you installed.

4. Leave all other parameter values as you set them for the first SiteMinder Policy Server.
5. Back up the properties.sh file. Rename it to a logical name, for example, secureproxyserver2properties.sh.

   Note: This file is critical for upgrades. We recommend that you back up this file. This file contains passwords, so be sure to save it in a secure location.

   Important! The original properties.sh file resides in a temp folder. If the server is shut down, the properties.sh file is discarded. Therefore, rename and back up this file before proceeding with any further installation or use of the system.
