Reinstall Federation Manager on Windows or UNIX Platforms

You can reinstall the same version of Federation Manager over an existing installation. Reinstalling lets you restore lost application files or restore the default installation settings.

Note: You can reinstall Federation Manager without uninstalling it.

Follow these steps:

1. On UNIX platforms, source the environment script, ca_federation_env.ksh.
2. Run the installation program again using the same program you used for the initial installation.
3. Restart the system when prompted.
4. Rerun the configuration wizard.

   Rerun the Configuration wizard after a reinstallation. This step is necessary regardless of whether you are using the same settings as you did for the original installation and configuration.

5. Restart the system when prompted.

Note: If you installed the Federation Manager Agent for Windows Authentication on the reinstalled Federation Manager system, reconfigure the Agent or it will not operate correctly.

The reinstallation is complete.
