Claim:
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.
