Run the Configuration Wizard on Solaris

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.

Important! If you reinstall Federation Manager, you must rerun the Configuration wizard. Before you rerun the Configuration wizard, back up your existing configuration to preserve SSL and Solaris database connections. Additionally, if you are using an ODBC user directory on Solaris, back up the system_odbc.ini file, located in federation_mgr_home/siteminder/db/ before rerunning the Configuration wizard.

These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode installations on Solaris 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.

Important! Do not run the Configuration wizard as the root user. If you try to run it as root, the wizard aborts and you receive an error message. Run the Configuration wizard as the same user that ran the installation.

To run the Configuration wizard

1. Open a console window.
2. Navigate to the directory federation_mgr_home.
3. Enter one of the following commands in a command window:
   • GUI Mode: ./ca-federation-config.sh
   • Console Mode: ./ca-federation-config.sh -i console

   The Configuration wizard starts.

4. Respond to the Configuration wizard prompts using the information you gathered prior to running the wizard.
5. Review the configuration settings and click Install (GUI Mode) or enter Y to install (Console mode).

   Federation Manager is configured.

   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.

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 and Solaris database connections.
