Run the Configuration Wizard on Windows

Before you run the Configuration wizard, you should have installed Federation Manager and gathered all the information that will be requested by the Configuration wizard. You must run the Configuration wizard any time you re-install Federation Manager.

These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode configuration 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.
• You can type BACK to visit the previous step.

The prompts for each mode help guide you through the process.

To run the Configuration wizard

1. Start the Configuration wizard by doing one of the following:
   • GUI Mode: Select Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Federation Manager Configuration wizard.
   • Console Mode: Open a command window, navigate to federation_mgr_home\install_config_info and enter the following command:

     ca-federation-config.exe -i -console

     You must execute this command from the correct location; the path is not automatically set.

2. Respond to the Configuration wizard prompts using the information you gathered prior to running the wizard.
3. Review the configuration settings and click Install (GUI mode) or enter Y (console mode) to run the configuration.

   Federation Manager configuration executes.

   If you experience problems during the configuration, review the configuration log file, CA_Federation_Manager_ConfigLog.log, located at federation_mgr_home\install_config_info.

4. Reboot the Federation Manager system.

The installation and configuration of Federation Manager is complete.

Important! You can re-run the Configuration wizard any time, but by doing so you discard your existing configuration. Before you re-run the Configuration wizard, back up your existing configuration to preserve SSL connections.
