Task 1: Enable LW-SSO on the Service Manager server

For Service Manager Collaboration to function, you need to configure Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) on the Service Manager server, Service Manager web tier and Openfire service so that Service Manager users can use Service Manager Collaboration without logging on to the Service Manager server separately.

In this task, you will set up LW-SSO for the Service Manager Server. Follow these steps:

1. Log on to Service Manager as a system administrator.

2. Go to Windows Services, and stop the Service Manager 9.60 Server service.

3. Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Service Manager 9.60\Server\RUN directory.

4. Make a copy of the lwssofmconf.xml file, and save the copy as lwssofmconf_OOB.xml.

5. Open the lwssofmconf.xml file with a text editor.

6. Locate the enableLWSSOFramework parameter, and ensure that it is set to true.

   <enableLWSSO
   enableLWSSOFramework="true"
   enableCookieCreation="true"
   cookieCreationType="LWSSO"/>

7. Change the domain value to sm-demo.

   <domain>sm-demo</domain>
   	<crypto cipherType="symmetricBlockCipher"
   	engineName="AES" paddingModeName="CBC" keySize="256"
   	encodingMode="Base64Url"
   	initString="This is a shared secret passphrase"/>

   Note To use LW-SSO, your Service Manager web tier and server must be deployed in the same domain; therefore you should use the same domain name for the web tier and server. If you fail to do so, users who log in from another application to the web tier can log in but may be forcibly logged out after a while.

8. Change the initString value to LWSSO_INIT_STRING.

   <domain>sm-demo</domain>
   	<crypto cipherType="symmetricBlockCipher"
   	engineName="AES" paddingModeName="CBC" keySize="256"
   	encodingMode="Base64Url"
   	initString="LWSSO_INIT_STRING"/>

   Note This value can be set to any string that is at least 12 characters long, as long as you use the same initString value for all the products that you want to integrate through LW-SSO.

9. Save and close the lwssofmconf.xml file.

10. Start the Service Manager 9.60 Server Windows service.
