Configure the AffWebServices.properties file

The AffWebServices.properties file contains all the initialization parameters for Federation Web Services.

To set up the AffWebServices.properties file

1. On the SP 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, the web server hosting the FWS application at the Service Provider is a Sun ONE Web server. So, the path to the WebAgent.conf file is:

   C:\\Sun\\WebServer6.1\\https-sp.demo\\config\\WebAgent.conf
   

   Note: Federation Web Services is a Java component, so the Windows paths must contain double back-slashes. This entry should be on one line.

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