The CA Federation Manager Java SDK is a library for interacting with an HTTP cookie that contains user identity information. The Java SDK supports two cookie formats:
The open format cookie is a string of UTF-8 bytes. This format includes associated encryption algorithms designed so that information can be securely communicated between Federation Manager and end-user applications. Applications can be written in any common Web programming language. Using the Java SDK is not required to create an open format cookie.
The current version of the Java SDK supports the legacy cookie for applications that use an earlier version of the SDK.
Typically, Federation Manager sets user identity information into an HTTP cookie for consumption by an end-user application. End-user applications can use the Java SDK to extract identity information, the authentication context, user consent, name ID, and name ID format from the cookie. Applications can set URIs for user consent and authentication context. In addition, third-party Web access managers can create a cookie and provide user credentials to Federation Manager.
