Federation Security Services Components
If you are migrating an r12.0 SP1 environment and plan on using Federation Security Services, consider the following:
- A SiteMinder key database (smkeydatabase) is a required component. You can create a key database during the Policy Server upgrade. You can also use the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create a key database after you upgrade the Policy Server.
Note: For more information about the role a key database plays in a federated environment, see the Federation Security Services Guide.
- A registered FSS Administrative UI is a required component. Although part of your core r12.0 SP1 environment, the FSS Administrative UI must be registered with a Policy Server before it can be used. If you intended on managing SiteMinder Federation Security Services, register the FSS Administrative UI after upgrading the policy store and the Administrative UI.
- Additional SiteMinder components are required to deploy a federated environment.
Note: For more information about the required Federation Security Services components, see the Federation Security Services Guide.
