Set Up the Configuration Properties File

Unattended configuration uses the ca-Federation-config.properties file to propagate the Federation Manager configuration to another system in your network.

With this properties file, you do the following:

• Define configuration parameters in the file.
• Copy the properties file and the configuration executable file to any system in your network where you want to configure Federation Manager.

The ca-Federation-config.properties file is installed in the following location:

Windows: federation_mgr_home\install-config-info

Solaris: federation_mgr_home/install-config-info

The default parameters and paths in the file reflect the information you entered during the initial Federation Manager configuration.

Important! The configuration properties file is case-sensitive.

To modify the configuration properties file

1. Open the ca-Federation-config.properties file and modify the parameters in the file.

   The parameters are as follows:

   Database Information

   PARAM_DBTYPE

   Indicates the type of database—SQL or Oracle.

   PARAM_UID

   Displays the database administrator user name.

   #PARAM_PWD

   Identifies the Federation Manager administrator password used to log in to the UI in clear text. Uncomment this line before entering a value.

   For added security, use the ENCRYPTED_PARAM_PWD setting.

   ENCRYPTED_PARAM_PWD

   Specifies the encrypted Federation Manager administrator password. We recommend using this encrypted password for added security.

   PARAM_DB_SERVER

   Identifies the IP address of the database server.

   PARAM_DB_PORT

   Displays the port the database is listening on.

   Defaults

   SQL: 1433

   Oracle: 1521

   PARAM_DB

   MS-SQL specific parameter. Names the SQL database.

   ORACLE_SID

   Oracle-specific parameter. Specifies the service name (NOT the SID) of the Oracle database.

   RECONFIGURE

   Indicates whether or not Federation Manager uses an existing database schema or creates a new schema.

   Limits: true (use an existing schema), false (create a new schema)

   Federation Manager Port

   PARAM_PORT

   Defines the port that Federation Manager is listening on.

   Default: 44442

   Important! Do not assign a value of 44445 for this port.

   Apache Information

   APACHE_SERVER_NAME

   Specifies the name of the Apache web server.

   If you plan to use the properties file on more than one system in a network, set this value to a unique name for each system where you run an unattended configuration. The same server name for more than one system may cause conflicts.

   APACHE_ADMIN_EMAIL

   Indicates the email address of the Federation Manager administrator.

   Default: admin@mycompany.com

   APACHE_HTTP_PORT

   Specifies the default port the Apache web server is listening on.

   Default: 80

   APACHE_SSL_PORT

   Specifies the default SSL port the Apache web server is listening on.

   Default: 443

   UI_HTTP_PORT

   Specifies the default HTTP port the Federation Manager UI is listening on.

   Default: 8888

   UI_SSL_PORT

   Specifies the default SSL port the Federation Manager UI is listening on.

   Default: 8889

   Important! The port numbers must be unique for the following settings:

   • Federation Manager server port
   • Apache HTTP port
   • Apache SSL port
   • Admin UI HTTP port
   • Admin UI SSL port
2. Save the file.
