Step 5: Add an Affiliate to an Affiliate Domain

The producer must be able to identify each affiliate, so you have to add each affiliate to an affiliate domain.

To add an affiliate to a domain

Log on to the Policy Server User Interface.
Add an affiliate to the affiliate domain.
Assign an affiliate name and password, and an AuthenticationURL at the minimum for a 6.x QMR 6 affiliate model. Note also that there are additional items to configure, such as notifications, assertions and sessions.

Note: For step-by-step instructions on configuring affiliates, see the Federation Security Services Guide.
Transfer users from the 4.x configuration that have access to affiliate domains to users with access to affiliate domains for the 6.x QMR 6 configuration as follows:
From the 6.x Policy Server User Interface:
1. Select an affiliate
  The Affiliate Properties dialog displays.
2. Select the Users tab.
3. Click Add/Remove.
4. Select the appropriate users and add them.
For example, for the 4.51/4.61 Affiliate Property Users, sample values would be:

ou=People

o=test.com

ou=JPeople

ou=People

o=test.com
Transfer the 4.x affiliate attributes to the 6.x QMR 6 affiliate configuration. The information you have to enter is listed in the following table.
