Deploy the FWS Application on WebLogic

To deploy the FWS application on Machine 2 and Machine 5:

1. Use the WebLogic Server Console and deploy FWS. The FWS application is installed in:

   /webagent_option_pack_home/affwebservices/

   For information about deploying a Web application, see WebLogic's documentation.

2. Test that the Federation Web Services application is working. Open a Web browser and enter:

   http://fqhn:port_number/affwebservices/assertionretriever

   where fqhn is the fully-qualified host name and port_number is the port number of the server where the Federation Web Services application is installed.

   For example:

   http://myhost.ca.com:81/affwebservices/assertionretriever

   If Federation Web Services is operating correctly, you should see a message that reads:

   Assertion Retrieval Service has been successfully initialized.
   The requested servlet accepts only HTTP POST requests.
   

   This message indicates that Federation Web Services is listening for data activity. The FWS application is now deployed for the WebLogic server.

   If Federation Web Services is not operating correctly, you will get a message that the Assertion Retrieval Service has failed. In case of failure, check the Federation Web Services log.

Note: For instructions on enabling trace logging for the FWS application, see Federation Security Services Trace Logging.
