Federation Manager User Interface Overview

Federation Manager configuration is managed through the Federation Manager User Interface (UI). The Federation Manager UI is a Web application that provides an administrator with access to all the system management functions of the product.

The administrator is a user who has full privileges and responsibilities for managing an entire federated solution.

Important! Only one administrator can be logged on to the Federation Manager UI at one time. In addition, the administrator can open only one browser instance.

The Federation Manager UI is organized into configuration tabs, sub-categories, lists and task buttons, as the following figure shows.

When navigating the UI, be aware of the following:

• Main configuration categories are reflected by the following tabs:
  • Federation
  • Certs & Keys
  • User Directory
  • Infrastructure

  You navigate to one of these tabs first when configuring an object.

• Sub-categories within each main configuration tab can be selected to configure specific aspects of the federation setup.
• Lists of objects are displayed for most sub-categories. These lists contain contextual links to access existing objects and task buttons to create or modify objects.
