Integrate the Assertion Generator Plug-in with SiteMinder (SAML 2.0/WS-Federation)

If you write an assertion generator plug-in, integrate the plug-in to work with SiteMinder.

Note: To compile the assertion plug-in Java file, see the instructions in the SAML2AssertionSample.java file in the directory sdk/samples/assertiongeneratorplugin.

To integrate the assertion generator plug-in with SiteMinder

1. Compile the assertion plug-in Java file.

   This file requires the following .jar files installed with the Policy Server:

   • policy_server_home/bin/jars/SmJavaApi.jar
   • policy_server_home/bin/thirdparty/xercesImpl.jar
   • policy_server_home/bin/endorsed/xalan.jar
2. In the JVMOptions.txt file, modify the -Djava.class.path value so it includes the classpath for the plug-in. This value enables the plug-in to be loaded.

   Note: Do not modify the classpath for xercesImpl.jar, xalan.jar, or SMJavaApi.jar.

3. Access the Advanced tab in the Service Provider Properties or Resource Partner Properties dialog and complete the following fields:

   Full Java Class Name

   Specify a Java class name for an existing plug-in.

   Parameter

   Specify a string of parameters that is passed to the plug-in specified in the Full Java Class Name field.

4. Restart the Policy Server.

   Restarting the Policy Server verifies that the latest version of the assertion plug-in is picked up after being recompiled.
