Before running the Configuration wizard, be prepared with the following information:
The database type (SQL or Oracle) you plan to use for the policy store.
This information identifies the database used by Federation Manager.
Host name or IP address of the server where the database is installed.
The following are the allowable entries, based on platform and database type:
Windows (Oracle and SQL): IPv4 address, host name
Solaris (Oracle): IPv4 address, host name
Solaris (SQL): IPv4 address, IPv6 address, host name
Important! Do not use square brackets around an IPv6 address in this field. The omission of brackets applies only to this setting. Example: 3ff3:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe25:67 (no square brackets)
If you want to use an SQL database named instance, enter the following value based on platform:
Windows: server_name\named_instance
Example: server01-w3s-t1\federation1
In this example, server01-w3s-t1 is the server name and federation1 is the instance name.
Solaris: server_name
Even if you are using an SQL named instance as the database server, specify the database server name in this field, not the named instance.
Additionally, enter the port number of the SQL named instance in the Database port field.
Example: server01-w3s-t1
Name of the database instance.
Limits
SQL: database name
Oracle: Oracle service name
Port the database is listening on. Change the port number if the database is not running on the default port. For example, if you specified an SQL named instance for the database server, enter the port for this database instance.
Defaults
SQL:1433
Oracle: 1521
Name of the administrator with super administrative privileges to access the database, and create and manage database tables.
The user name can contain any printable character except for the forward slash (/), which cannot be used for an Oracle database because it causes the connection to the database to fail.
Password for the database administrator account. The password can contain any printable character except for the forward slash (/), which cannot be used for an Oracle database because it causes the connection to the database to fail.
TCP port number that Federation Manager is listening on.
Default: 44442
Limit: A numeric value except 44443, 44444, 44445. The port numbers 44443, 44444, 44445 are not permitted.
Federation Manager uses the open source Apache web server as the HTTP listener for incoming requests.
Fully qualified domain name of the system where Federation Manager is installed.
Email address for the database administrator. This is the email address where server errors are sent.
Port listening for HTTP requests.
Default: 80
Note: If you have another web server on your system using port 80, change the default port for the Apache web server.
Apache port listening for SSL requests.
Default: 443
Note: If you have another web server on your system using port 443, change the default SSL port for the Apache web server.
Port listening for Federation Manager UI HTTP requests.
If you change this port, be aware that it must be internal-facing and should not be accessible from the Internet.
Default: 8888
Port listening for Federation Manager UI SSL requests.
If you change this port, be aware that it must be internal-facing and should not be accessible from the Internet.
Default: 8889
Important! The port numbers must be unique for the following settings:
