FederationIdentity Interface

The FederationIdentity interface defines methods for manipulating the Federation legacy cookie. The interface supports the following tasks:

• Initialize the SDK logger specific to an application.
• Extract user identity information from the cookie in an HTTP request, in a Java Cookie object, or in String format.
• Initialize values for the cookie name, domain, and security zone.
• Create the legacy (FEDPROFILE) cookie.
• Pass identity attributes to an application.
• Set a password for encrypting and decrypting the cookie.

Important! The FederationIdentity interface only supports password-based encryption, which is not FIPS-compatible. If you are using a FIPS-only installation, implement the IFederationOpenIdentity interface.
