Enable SSL Between Federation Manager and a Backend Server

Your federated network can have Federation Manager communicating to a backend server over an SSL connection. The network configuration is illustrated in the following figure.

To establish an SSL connection between Federation Manager and the backend server

1. Configure the backend server for SSL.

   For instructions, refer to the documentation for the server.

2. On the Federation Manager system, add the CA certificate that signed the server certificate to the file ca-bundle.cert. The server certificate is the one that the backend server used to enabled SSL.

   The ca-bundle.cert file resides in the directory federation_mgr_home\secure-proxy\SSL\certs.

   federation_mgr_home is the installed location of Federation Manager.

   Obtain this certificate from the administrator of the backend server.
