Install and Configure ServletExec to work with FWS at the IdP

For FWS to operate, you can install ServletExec or any supported application server. This sample network uses ServletExec on an IIS 6.0 Web Server.

Note: SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3 is shipped with a ServletExec license key file named ServletExec_AS_6_license_key.txt. If you do not have this license key, contact CA Technical Support. From this license file, copy the license key and enter it in the ServletExec License dialog of the ServletExec Administration Console. For instructions on licensing ServletExec, see ServletExec documentation, available at the New Atlanta Communication website.

Be sure to apply the most current hot fixes for the supported version of ServletExec you are using. Without the hot fixes, Federation Web Services do not work with ServletExec. To obtain hot fixes, go to the website for New Atlanta Communication.

To set up ServletExec

1. Install ServletExec. For more information, see the New Atlanta documentation.
2. Open the ServletExec Administration Console.
3. Under Web Applications, select manage.

   The Manage Web Applications dialog opens.

4. Click Add a Web Application.
5. Enter the following information:

   Application Name

   affwebservices

   URL Context Path

   /affwebservices/

   Location

   C:\program files\ca\webagent\affwebservices

   Note: The location of affwebservices in your setup can be different. Enter the correct location.

6. Click Submit.
7. Exit the ServletExec Console.
8. Modify the directory security settings for the IIS default user account.

Important! IIS does not allow any plug-in to write to a file system unless the IIS user account has proper rights. Therefore, for Federation Web Services to work with ServletExec, modify the directory security settings for the IIS default user account.
