Initiate Single Sign-on at the Account Partner

When a user visits the Account Partner before going to the Resource Partner, there must be a link that generates an HTTP Get request. The hard-coded link points to the Single Sign-on Service of the Account Partner. The request contains the RP Provider ID and optionally other parameters.

The syntax for the link to the Single Sign-on Service is as follows:

https://ap_server:port/affwebservices/public/wsfedsso?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=RP_ID

ap_server:port

Specifies the server and port number of the system at the Account Partner. The system is hosting the Web Agent Option Pack or the SPS federation gateway, depending on which component is installed in your federation network.

RP_ID

Resource Partner identity
