Configure the Backchannel for the Attribute Query

The attribute query is sent across a secure backchannel to the Attribute Authority.

Note: Only one backchannel is available between the Service Provider and the Identity Provider. Therefore, the backchannel configuration you define for the attribute query is the same backchannel configuration that is used when you configure the SAML artifact profile.

To configure the backchannel

1. If necessary, access the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog for the SAML requester.
2. Click Additional Configuration.
3. Select the Backchannel tab.
4. Complete the following fields:
   • Authentication
   • SP Name
   • Password
   • Confirm Password
