Configure the AffWebServices.properties File

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

The installed location of the AffWebServices.properties file is in one of two locations:

For a Web Agent:
web_agent_home/affwebservices/WEB-INF/classes
For the SPS federation gateway:
sps_home/secure-proxy/Tomcat/webapps/affwebservices/WEB-INF/classes

To configure the AffWebServices.properties file

Set the AgentConfigLocation parameter to the location of the WebAgent.conf file at the consumer and producer sites.
- Windows example for the Web Agent:
  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 does not apply for UNIX platforms.
- UNIX example for the Web Agent:
  SunJavaSystem_server/servers/https-hostname/config/WebAgent.conf
- Windows example for SPS federation gateway
  sps_home\\proxy-engine\\conf\\defaultagent\\WebAgent.conf
- UNIX example for SPS federation gateway
  sps_home/proxy-engine/conf/defaultagent/WebAgent.conf
Repeat this procedure for each application server installed with the Web Agent Option Pack.
For the rest of the settings, you can accept the default values or modify as needed.
