Disable UI Administration

The UI Settings group box lets you disable and re-enable CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone administration on the local host.

The ability to disable administration of the UI is useful if two CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone systems are set up to support failover. Administration of CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone can only take place on the primary CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system. The configuration can then be exported to the secondary CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system.

Use the disable UI feature to disable administration on the secondary system so administration can only take place on the primary system.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Administrative UI.
2. Navigate to Infrastructure, System Settings.
3. Click Disable Administration in the UI Settings group box.

   Disabling administration prevents any administrative actions.

Important! The change takes effect immediately after you confirm the action.

After you disable administration, an Administration Disabled dialog displays and all other parts of the UI become unavailable. Subsequent login attempts only display a warning message and a button to re-enable administration.

To re-enable administration

Click Enable Administration in the Administration Disabled dialog.

All parts of the UI become active again.
