Configure the AffWebServices.properties file

The AffWebServices.properties file contains all the initialization parameters for Federation Web Services.

To set up the AffWebServices.properties file

  1. On the SP system with the Web Agent Option Pack, go to C:\Program Files\ca\webagent\affwebservices\WEB-INF\classes
  2. Set the AgentConfigLocation parameter to the location of the WebAgent.conf file. Setting a value for this parameter is mandatory.

    For this deployment, the web server hosting the FWS application at the Service Provider is a Sun ONE Web Server. So, the path to the WebAgent.conf file is:

    C:\\Sun\\WebServer6.1\\https-sp.demo\\config\\WebAgent.conf

    Note: Federation Web Services is a Java component, so the Windows paths must contain double backslashes. This entry should be on one line.

  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Test Federation Web Services.
