Install and Configure ServletExec to work with FWS at the IdP

For FWS to operate, you can install ServletExec or any supported application server. This sample network uses ServletExec on an IIS 6.0 Web server.

Note: You should have received a ServletExec license key file called licensekey50.txt from CA Support. From this license file, copy the license key and enter it in the ServletExec License dialog of the ServletExec Administration Console. For instructions on licensing ServletExec, see ServletExec documentation, available at the New Atlanta Communication web site.

Be sure to apply the most current hot fixes for the supported version of ServletExec you are using. Without the hot fixes, Federation Web Services will not work with ServletExec. To obtain hot fixes, go to the web site for New Atlanta Communication.

To set up ServletExec

1. Install ServletExec. Refer to New Atlanta's documentation for instructions.
2. Open the ServletExec Administration Console.
3. Under Web Applications, select manage.

   The Manage Web Applications dialog opens.

4. Click Add a Web Application.
5. Enter the following information:
   • Application Name

     affwebservices

   • URL Context Path

     /affwebservices/

   • Location

     C:\program files\ca\webagent\affwebservices

   Note: The location of affwebservices in your setup may be different. Enter the correct location.

6. Click Submit.
7. Exit the ServletExec Console.
8. Modify the directory security settings for the IIS default user account.

Important! IIS does not allow any plug-in to write to a file system unless it is configured with a user account that has proper rights to do so. Therefore, for Federation Web Services to work with ServletExec, you need to modify the directory security settings for the IIS default user account.
