Install Federation Manager on Windows

These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode installations on Windows systems. The steps for the two modes are the same, with the following exceptions for Console Mode:

• You may be instructed to select an option by entering a corresponding number.
• Press ENTER after each step to proceed through the process.
• The prompts for each mode will help guide you through the process.
• You can type BACK to visit the previous step.

Important!

Do not install Federation Manager on a system where the SiteMinder Policy Server or Secure Proxy Server (SPS) is already installed. Installing Federation Manager on a SiteMinder system could negatively impact the existing SiteMinder installation.

Do not install Federation Manager on a system where there is an existing Apache Web Server or Apache Tomcat Server.

Do not install SiteMinder or the Secure Proxy Server on a system where Federation Manager is installed, as this might have an adverse effect on Federation Manager.
