Configure the SAML 1.x AMAssertionGenerator.properties File

To configure the AMAssertionGenerator.properties file

  1. Go to the following location: policy_server_home/config/properties.
  2. Open the AMAssertionGenerator.properties file in a text editor.
  3. Modify the following parameters:
    AssertionIssuerID

    Specifies the URL that identifies the site issuing the assertion.

    This URL must be the same value as the Issuer field that you complete for a SAML authentication scheme.

    Note: Set this value properly so that SAML 1.x assertions are meaningful.

    SecurityDomain

    Identifies the domain of the producer, such as example.com

    SourceID

    Specifies for the SAML 1.x artifact profile only, a unique ID in the artifact that identifies the producer. For more information, see the SAML specification at the OASIS website.

The values you enter in this file must match the values for the equivalent settings at the consumer site. The settings must match whether the consumer is a SAML Affiliate Agent or a 1.x consumer.

Note: If you update the AmAssertionGenerator.properties file, the Policy Server does not pick the changes until it is restarted.
