Test Federation Web Services

After you have set up the Federation Web Services application, verify that it is operating properly.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser and enter the following link:

   http://fqhn:port_number/affwebservices/assertionretriever
   

   where,

   fqhn

   Defines the fully qualified host name.

   port_number

   Defines the port number of the server where the Web Agent and Web Agent Option Pack are installed.

   For this deployment, enter:

   http://www.sp.demo:81/affwebservices/assertionretriever
   

   If Federation Web Services is operating correctly, the following message appears:

   Assertion Retrieval Service has been successfully initialized.
   The requested servlet accepts only HTTP POST requests.
   

   This message indicates that Federation Web Services is listening for data activity. If Federation Web Services is not operating correctly, you get a message that the Assertion Retrieval Service has failed. If Assertion Retrieval Service fails, examine the Federation Web Services log.

2. Enable Web Agent Option Pack logging.
