Managing 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.

About this task

Federation partner templates are designed to simplify the configuration of federations within the appliance. These templates contain partner definitions that can assist with the establishment of 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. You can also update the existing templates to a new version by importing a new templates package into your appliance.

In a cluster environment, after you import a new templates package into the primary node appliance, the update is automatically applied to non-primary nodes.

Note: Templates package update is possible from the primary node only.

  3. To update the templates, click Import.
