One of the methods for configuring CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone is an unattended configuration. An unattended configuration lets you configure CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone without any user intervention.
To run an unattended configuration, you have to first manually configure CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone on a machine. The manual configuration creates a file, called ca-federation-config.properties, which you use to run an unattended configuration on a separate machine. By default, the ca-federation-config.properties contains the settings from the initial configuration.
The ca-federation-config.properties file contains all of the parameters, paths, and passwords entered during the initial configuration. When you perform an unattended configuration, this properties file provides the settings that you would normally enter manually.
You can use the default properties file to run configurations with the same settings as the initial configuration or use the file as a template that you modify to suit your environment.
If you plan to use the properties file on more than one system in a network, be sure to set the APACHE_SERVER_NAME setting to a unique value for each system where you run an unattended configuration. The same server name for more than one system may cause conflicts.
Important! You can only run an unattended configuration on a system with the same platform as the system where you first installed CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone. For example, you cannot configure the product on a Solaris system and then use the properties file to run an unattended configuration on a Linux system.
