One of the methods for configuring Federation Manager is an unattended configuration. An unattended configuration lets you configure Federation Manager without any user intervention.
To run an unattended configuration, you have to first manually configure Federation Manager on a machine. The manual configuration creates a file, called ca-Federation-config.properties, which you use to run an unattended configuration on a separate machine. By default, the ca-Federation-config.properties contains the settings from the initial Federation Manager configuration.
The ca-Federation-config.properties file contains all of the parameters, paths, and passwords entered during the initial configuration. When you perform an unattended configuration, this properties file provides the settings that you would normally enter manually.
You can use the default properties file to run configurations with the same settings as the initial configuration or use the file as a template that you modify to suit your environment.
If you plan to use the properties file on more than one system in a network, be sure to set the APACHE_SERVER_NAME setting to a unique value for each system where you run an unattended installation. The same server name for more than one system may cause conflicts.
Important! You can only run an unattended configuration on a system with the same platform as the system where you first installed Federation Manager. For example, you cannot configure Federation Manager on a Solaris system and then use the properties file to run an unattended configuration on a Windows system.
