Deployment Example 2: Federation Using SAML v2

ProcedureTo Update the Federation Manager 2 serverconfig.xml File

  1. Go the following directory that contains the serverconfig.xml file:


    # cd /var/opt/SUNWam/fm/war_staging/web-src/WEB-INF/config/
  2. Make a backup of the file serverconfig.xml, and then make the following changes in serverconfig.xml:

    1. In the following entry, change the host name and port number attribute values:


      <iPlanetDataAccessLayer>
              <ServerGroup name="default" minConnPool="1" maxConnPool="10">
                     <Server name="Server1" host="LoadBalancer-7.siroe.com" 
      								port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
                      <User name="User1" type="proxy">
                              <DirDN>
                                      uid=amadmin,ou=people,o=siroe.com
    2. Verify that the following user entries exist in the file:


      <User name="User1" type="proxy">
                              <DirDN>
                                      uid=amadmin,ou=people,o=siroe.com
                              </DirDN>
                              <DirPassword>
                                      AQICGmG7l+gzO6bjmbDBve/MqicBf/zR2I+P
                              </DirPassword>
                      </User>
                      <User name="User2" type="admin"~
                              <DirDN>
                                      uid=amadmin,ou=people,o=siroe.com
                              </DirDN>
                              <DirPassword>
                                      AQICGmG7l+gzO6bjmbDBve/MqicBf/zR2I+P
                              </DirPassword>
                      </User>

    In this deployment example, the proxy user and administrative user have the same DN. In effect, these are the same user. They are both superusers contained in the ou=service branch of the Directory Server. These users have privileges to read, write, and search the Federation Manager configuration. The user amadmin does not exist in the Directory Server at this point.
