Configuring Your Service Provider

Complete the following steps to configure your SP:

  1. Retrieve the Novell Liberty IDP for eDirectory metadata.

    1. In your Web browser, enter your IDP's URL (for example, if you didn't change the application name when you installed, your URL would be http://yourIDP'sDNSorIP/nidp/metadata, assuming the defaults).

    2. Copy the metadata in this page: From the menu, select View Source > Select All.

    3. Copy the metadata to your clipboard.

  2. Open the libertyconfig.xml file located at <Tomcat_home>\webapps\nwt\WEB-INF.

  3. Paste the metadata after the line that says, "Paste IDP metadata after this line".

  4. Save the file and close it.

  5. Stop and restart the servlet container. (Anytime you make changes to this file, you need to stop and restart the container.)

For instructions on how to import the SP's metadata to the IDP, see 3. Define Service Providers .


Adding Additional Users

As part of your installation, one user is created. Adding additional users to your configuration is optional. If you want to add more users, before federating your first user, locate the Liberty Principal tag section of your XML file (including the opening and closing portions of the tag), then copy and paste that section to create the additional users.

You should note that as the system runs and identities are created, new tags are placed inside the Liberty Principal section of your XML file. You should only copy the following portions of the tag:

<LibertyPrincipal>
      <dn><value>spuser</value></dn>
      <password><value>spuser</value></password>
      <fullname><value>Jonathan</value></fullname>
</LibertyPrincipal>
