Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Federation and SAML Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Test a Common Domain Services Installation

For troubleshooting, make sure the debug level property in FSIntroConfig.properties is set to message.

  1. Install the Common Domain Services for Federation as a standalone application in a web container in the common domain.

    Ensure that the common domain has been defined and the web container is installed in it.

  2. Modify the properties in FSIntroConfig.properties as needed.

    See Configuring the Common Domain Services Properties for more information.

  3. Configure at least two identity providers for a service provider.

    Ensure that the Writer Service URL is configured for each identity provider and the Reader Service URL is configured for each service provider.

  4. Login as a user and complete federation and single sign-on between one identity provider and the service provider.

    En sure that the _liberty_idp cookie is set to the common domain.

  5. Login as a user and complete federation and single sign-on between the second identity provider and the service provider.

    After the initial successful federation and single sign-on, all service providers in the common domain are redirected to the first identity provider based on the information in the common domain cookie.


    Note –

    Whether the cookie is persistent or for this browser session alone is dependent on how FSIntroConfig.properties is configured.
