Manage federation partner templates
Use the Federation Partner Templates management page to see the current version of the templates on the appliance and update the templates to a new version.
Federation partner templates are designed to simplify the configuration of federations within the appliance. These templates contain partner definitions to assist with establishment federations to well-known partners.
When you activate the Federation Module, the federation partner templates package that was included in the firmware is automatically applied. We can also update the existing templates to a new version by importing a new templates package into the appliance.
In a cluster environment, after importing a new templates package into the primary node appliance, the update is automatically applied to non-primary nodes. Templates package update is possible from the primary node only.
Steps
- Log in to the local management interface.
- Select Federation > Global Settings > Partner Templates. The version number of the current federation partner templates and the installation date are displayed.
- To update the templates, click Import.
- Click Browse and then select the new templates package file.
- Click Import to upload the selected templates package file to the appliance.
- Deploy the changes.
