Federation is configured using the configuration text area of the relevant Security Configuration page in the MFDS administration user interface. This is the security configuration tab for an individual server, or the "Default ES Security" page in the global security settings, or the "MFDS Security" page.
To configure federation, add the following section:
[Operation] Federate=setting
where setting is yes, no, or compatible. The default is compatible, which preserves the behavior of ESF 1.13 or older.
