Reactivate Federation Partnerships

After you complete the migration, reactivate the partnerships.

Note: If the SiteMinder Connector was enabled on a previous system, it is configured and enabled by default on the new system. All partnerships then use the Connector by default. To disable the Connector for individual partnerships, you have to edit the specific partnership.

1. Log back in to the Federation Manager UI.

   Important! Do not access the Certs & Keys tab in the Federation Manager UI until this entire procedure is complete.

2. Select the Federation tab and click Partnerships.

   The View Federation Partnerships window opens.

3. Select Activate from the Action menu next to each deactivated partnership in the Federation Partnership list.
4. (Optional) If the SiteMinder Connector was enabled in the original configuration, reestablish the Connector by doing the following:
   1. Click the Infrastructure tab and select Deployment Settings.
   2. Reconfigure the SiteMinder Connector settings using the same values from the original configuration.
   3. Click Register Host to reregister Federation Manager with the SiteMinder Policy Server.
5. (Optional) If SSL was enabled in the original configuration, reenable it as follows:
   1. Click the Infrastructure tab and select SSL Configuration.

      The SSL Configuration dialog opens.

   2. Click Disable in the Embedded web SSL Configuration section to change the setting back to Enable.
   3. Click Deactivate in the Administrative UI SSL Configuration section to change the setting to Activate.

   Before enabling SSL for the embedded web server, migrate existing SSL keys and certificates or generate a new key/certificate request. Finally, get the certificate signed. SSL certificates are not included in the imported configuration file.

6. If you changed the SSL status (enabled or disabled), restart the Federation Manager services as follows.
   • Windows

     Use the Federation Manager stop and start shortcuts as follows. If you logged in as a network user and not a local administrator, right-click the shortcut and select Run as administrator.

     1. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Stop services
     2. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Start services
   • UNIX

     a. Open up a command window.

     b. Run the following scripts:

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh stop

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh start

     Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user.

The new system is now operating with the same configuration as the original system.
