Update the Tomcat Properties File

Complete this step if both of the following are true:

  • Your FME Server uses an Apache Tomcat servlet to run the FME Server Web Services. Apache Tomcat is provided with an Express installation of FME Server, and some distributed installations. Or, your distributed installation may be using your own Apache Tomcat servlet.
  • Your FME Server Web User Interface is accessible through an external-facing URL, or you have otherwise changed the URL through which the Web User Interface is accessed.

To update the Tomcat properties file

  1. Open the Apache Tomcat properties file:

    2. <FMEServerDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmeserver\WEB-INF\conf\propertiesFile.properties

  2. Locate the SINGLE_SIGN_ON_AUTH_URL parameter, and update the host name portion of the URL to match the host name through which the FME Server Web User Interface is accessed. For example:

    3. SINGLE_SIGN_ON_AUTH_URL=http://MyFMEServerHost/fmetoken/sso/generate

  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Restart the FME Server services.
