Configure ServletExec to Work with Federation Web Services

For the Federation Web Services application to work with ServletExec, you need to specify Federation Web Services as a Web application for ServletExec and add several JVM options for both the producing authority and the consuming authority.

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.

Remember, ServletExec and the Web Agent Option Pack must be installed on the same web server where you installed the Web Agent.

Important! Be sure to apply the most current hot fixes for ServletExec. Without the hot fixes, Federation Web Services will not work with ServletExec. To obtain the hot fixes, go to the New Atlanta Communication web site.
