Configuration Tasks for WS-Federation Authentication

The following configuration tasks are required to create a WS-Federation authentication scheme:

• Create an authentication scheme for each Account Partner that generates assertions.
• Associate that scheme with a realm and add that realm to the policy. You can do this task on a per Account Partner basis or create a single custom authentication scheme and single realm.

Certain parameter values at the Account Partner and Resource Partner are required to match for the configuration to work. A list of those parameters is located in Configuration Settings that Must Use the Same Values.

Be sure to verify that you are using the correct URLs for FWS servlets. See the list in Federation Web Services URLs Used in SiteMinder Configuration.
