Configure a SAML or WS-Federation Authentication Scheme
At the relying party Policy Server, configure an authentication scheme (artifact, POST profile, SAML 2.0, WS-Federation) for each asserting party.
Important! The name of the partner that you specify for the authentication scheme must match the name of the relying party that you specify at the asserting party, as follows:
- For SAML 1.x authentication schemes, the Affiliate Name field of the scheme configuration must match an Affiliate Name for an affiliate object at the producer site.
- For SAML 2.0, the equivalent field is the SP ID, which must match the SP ID at the Identity Provider.
- For WS-Federation, the Resource Partner ID for the scheme configuration must match the Resource Partner ID at the Account Partner.
