Configure the AffWebServices.properties File at the IdP

The affwebservices.properties file contains all the initialization parameters for Federation Web Services. You need to modify at least one of the settings in this file.

To modify the affwebservices.properties file

1. On the IdP system with the Web Agent Option Pack, go to C:\Program Files\ca\webagent\affwebservices\WEB-INF\classes
2. Set the AgentConfigLocation parameter to the location of the WebAgent.conf file. It is mandatory to set a value for this parameter.

   For this deployment, an IIS 6.0 web server hosts the FWS application. So, the path to the WebAgent.conf file is:

   C:\\Program Files\\ca\\webagent\\bin\\IIS\\WebAgent.conf
   

   Note: Federation Web Services is a Java component, so the Windows paths must contain double back-slashes. This applies only to Windows.

   Ensure this path is entered on one line.

3. Save and close the file.
4. Test Federation Web Services at the IdP.
