Deployment Example 2: Federation Using SAML v2

ProcedureTo Verify that the Federation Manager Load Balancers are Working Properly

  1. Use the tail command to monitor traffic requests to Federation Manager 1 and Federation Manager 2.

    1. As a root user, log in to the Federation Manager 1 host.

    2. Restart the Federation Manager 1 server:


      # cd /FederationManager-base/SUNWwbsvr/https-FederationManager-2.siroe.com 
      # ./stop; ./start
    3. Use the tail command to monitor the Federation Manager access log.


      # tail —f logs/access
    4. As a root user, log in to the Federation Manager 2 host.

    5. Start the Federation Manager 2 server:


      # cd FederationManager-base/SUNWwbsvr/https-FederationManager-2.siroe.com 
      # ./stop; ./start
    6. Use the tail command to monitor the Directory Server access log.


      # tail —f logs/access
  2. Go to the following Federation Manager URL:


    http://LoadBalancer-9.siroe.com:1080/federation/UI/Login
  3. Log in to the Federation Manager console:

    User Name:

    amadmin

    Password:

    11111111

    As you log in and log out of the Federation Manager console, you should see in the access log that all requests are going to the same Federation Manager server. This indicates that the load balancer is working properly, and that the persistence setting is properly configured.
