Configuring identity federation configuration

摘要

A method and apparatus for configuring identity federation configuration. The method includes: acquiring a set of identity federation configuration properties of a first computing system and a set of identity federation configuration properties of a second computing system; identifying one or more pairs of associated properties in the first and the second sets, where the pairs of associated properties include one property from each set of identity federation configuration; displaying, properties that need to be configured manually from the each sets of identity federation configuration properties, where the properties that need to be configured manually do not include the property in any pair of associated properties for which the value can be derived from the value of another property in the pair; automatically assigning a property that can be derived from the value of another property; and providing each computing systems with each set of identity federation properties.

1. A computer-implemented method for configuring an identity federation configuration, comprising:
acquiring a first set of identity federation configuration properties of a first computing system and a second set of identity federation configuration properties of a second computing system; automatically identifying one or more pairs of associated properties in the first and the second sets of identity federation configuration properties, wherein each of the pairs of associated properties in the first and second sets of identity federation configuration properties are expressed as a correlation function; automatically assigning a value to a property for which the value can be derived from the value of another property, using a processor, and wherein the value depends on the correlation function; providing the first and the second computing systems with the first configured set of identity federation properties and the second configured set of identity federation properties, respectively; and configuring the identity federation configuration between the first and second computing systems based on the first and second configured sets of identity federation properties.
