Unattended configuration uses the ca-federation-config.properties file to propagate the Federation Manager configuration to another system in your network.
With this properties file, you do the following:
The ca-federation-config.properties file is installed in the following location:
Windows: federation_mgr_home\install-config-info
UNIX: federation_mgr_home/install-config-info
The default parameters and paths in the file reflect the information you entered during the initial configuration.
Important! The configuration properties file is case-sensitive.

|
PARAM_DB_SERVER |
Identifies the IP address of the database server. |
|
PARAM_DB_PORT |
Displays the port the database is listening on. Defaults:
|
|
MSSQL Specific |

|
PARAM_DB |
MS-SQL specific parameter. Names the SQL database. |
|
Oracle Specific |
|
|
ORACLE_SID |
Oracle-specific parameter. Specifies the service name (NOT the SID) of the Oracle database. |
|
RECONFIGURE |
Indicates whether or not Federation Manager uses an existing database schema or creates a new schema. Limits: true (use an existing schema), false (create a new schema) |
|
Federation Manager Server Port |
|
|
PARAM_PORT |
Defines the port that Federation Manager is listening on. Default: 44442 Important! Do not assign a value of 44445 for this port. |

|
|
PROXY_HOST_NAME |
(Proxy mode only) Identifies the fully qualified domain name of the backend server where Federation Manager forwards the requests for federated resources. Define this setting using the syntax server_name.domain:port. Example: myserver.mycompany.ca.com:5555 If you use this properties file on more than one Federation Manager system and these systems use the same proxy, set this host name to the same value for each system. Federation Manager and the proxy host must be in the same domain. |
|
Apache Server Information |
|
|
APACHE_SERVER_NAME |
Specifies the name of the Apache web server. If you plan to use the properties file on more than one system in a network, set this value to a unique name for each system where you run an unattended configuration. The same server name for more than one system may cause conflicts. |
|
APACHE_ADMIN_EMAIL |
Indicates the email address of the Federation Manager administrator. This setting is required by the Apache server installed as part of Federation Manager. Apache uses the administrator’s e-mail address in its default error messages when problems are encountered. The e-mail address is set with the ServerAdmin directive and can be any valid e-mail address. The events forwarded to this address are server-specific errors and warnings for the Apache server. The messages are not related to federation. Default: admin@mycompany.com |
