Manually unlocking a federation process (ssoconfig utility)

When a federation or synchronization process is started from Infor Security Services, it is put into a locked status that prevents another sync process from being started. Best practice is to let a federation complete normally, without (manually) releasing a lock or making changes to any of the federated systems during the federation process. The lock is released when the sync completes without errors

However, it is possible that you might occasionally need to stop an in-progress federation, because, for example, you have become aware of a problem, such as a federation process hanging. You can use the ssoconfig utility to stop, or unlock, the in-progress federation.

The need for manually unlocking an in-progress federation is unusual and might only be necessary in the case of a disaster recovery situation.
