Refreshing connections
CMS connections are established once and maintained in the current instance of the UI. If a CMS
is rebooted or comes online after starting Federated Search, you must refresh connections to
establish a connection to the newly online CMS.
Federated CMS Search Configuration
The Federated CMS Configuration is used to configure the list of secondary CMSs. In order for
the main CMS to be included in operations such as search, it must be added to the secondary list
and display a successful configuration status.
The Federated CMS Configuration feature provides you with the following options:
• Add CMS
A wizard guides you through the process of adding a CMS. See “Adding a CMS”
• Deleting a CMS
A selected CMS can be removed from the list of CMSs. When the CMS is deleted, the trust
relationship that was set up between the main CMS and secondary CMS is also removed.
• Refreshing the list
Refreshing the list re-checks the configurations from the CMS.
• Fixing the configuration of a CMS
After the initial configuration of a CMS, changes in the CMS could break the Federated CMS
configuration. The CMS table displays the current configuration status since the last refresh.
If the configuration is broken, you must use Fix CMS Configuration to repair the configuration.
Procedure 220 Adding a CMS
1. Click Add CMS. The Add CMS wizard appears.
2. Enter the name of the remote CMS using the host name or IP address.
3. Verify the SSL certificate from the remote CMS.
This step gets the SSL certificate from the secondary CMS and allows you to install it on the
main CMS. If the certificate is retrieved successfully, it is displayed. After viewing the certificate,
you can click Continue or Cancel the wizard. If you finish the wizard, the certificate is installed.
