Configure an ICAS Properties File

An ICAS properties file specifies how an instance of ICAS behaves. When configuring an instance of ICAS in the Administrative UI, the administrator specifies the path to the associated properties file. To configure a new properties file, open a sample properties file with a text editor and edit the contents. Always save and rename the new properties file.

Note: Multiple instances of ICAS can share the same properties file.

Example: A properties file named InfoCard.properties contains the following properties and sample values:

• fcc

  Specifies the location of the fcc file.

  Example: fcc=https://web_server_home/siteminderagent/forms/InfoCard.fcc

  Note: To activate the Identity Selector, specify "https".

• vppid_claim

  Specifies the claim to use to disambiguate the user.

  Examples:

  vppid_claim=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname

  vppid_claim=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname

  vppid_claim=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress

• alias

  Specifies the key in the SiteMinder key store that is used to retrieve the Relying Party's SSL certificate.

  Example: alias=rpssl

• tokenPrim

  Specifies the provider of the tokenPrim interface.

  Example: tokenPrim=com.ca.sm.authscheme.infocard.higgins.TokenAdapter
