Before you install CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone, be prepared with the following information. You are prompted for it during the installation.
Prior to installing CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone, install a JDK and know its location.
CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone requires that you enter a password during installation. This password is the one you will use to log in to the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone UI.
Note: The CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone administrator password can contain only English (ASCII) characters.
You can install CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone in one of the following FIPS modes of operation:
FIPS_COMPAT (compatibility) mode is the default FIPS mode of operation during installation. In FIPS_COMPAT mode, the federation system continues to support the current set of non-FIPS algorithms as well as the supported FIPS-compliant algorithms.
FIPS_COMPAT mode is compatible with previous versions of federation. This compatibility enables environments with a version earlier than 12.52 to interoperate with 12.52. FIPS_COMPAT is also suitable for any clients who are satisfied with the degree of security available in the current federation implementation.
If your organization does not require the use of FIPS, install CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone in FIPS_COMPAT mode. No further configuration is required.
In FIPS_ONLY mode, the environment uses only FIPS-compliant algorithms to encrypt sensitive data.
Install CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone in FIPS_ONLY mode for new installations where you want to use only FIPS-compliant algorithms.
Important! Anytime you change the FIPS mode, restart CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone.
