The Federation Users dialog is the second step in the partnership wizard when the local entity is the asserting party. This step lets you specify which users are authorized to access target resources at the remote site. Additionally, you can enable the SiteMinder Connector for Federation Manager integration with SiteMinder.
The SiteMinder Connector is a software component that enables a deployed SiteMinder system to integrate with Federation Manager. If Federation Manager is at the asserting party, the SiteMinder Connector can create a Federation Manager session from a SiteMinder session. To establish the SiteMinder session, SiteMinder authenticates the user first and then the user visits the asserting party.
You can enable the SiteMinder Connector on a per-partnership basis; however, only one global connector configuration applies to all partnerships. The connector is available only when the check box in the Deployment Settings is selected and a configuration is defined. You access the Deployment Settings from the Infrastructure tab in the UI. After enabling the Connector globally, Federation Manager evaluates the partnership configuration to determine whether the Connector is enabled. The partnership uses the global Connector configuration.
To disable the Connector for the partnership, clear the check box at the partnership level. To disable the Connector globally, disable it in the Deployment Settings.
Important! If the Connector is disabled at the global level, Federation Manager ignores the check box at the partnership level.
