Configure the XML DCC Authentication Scheme

To obtain authentication information from an incoming XML document, you configure the XML DCC authentication scheme.

To configure the authentication scheme

  1. Click Infrastructure, Authentication.
  2. Click SOA Authentication Scheme, Create SOA Authentication Scheme.

    The Create Authentication Scheme pane opens.

  3. Click OK.

    Authentication scheme settings open.

    Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

  4. Enter a name and a description for the scheme in the General group box.
  5. Select XML Document Credential Collector from the Authentication Scheme Type list.
  6. Specify a protection level.
  7. Configure XML DCC Scheme field mappings in the Scheme Setup group box.
  8. Select the Require Secure Transport Layer check box to require that authentication only take place over an SSL connection.

    Important! The Policy Server expects the information in the XML document to be in clear text. To enforce security, we recommend that you configure this authentication scheme over an SSL connection.

  9. Click Submit.

    The authentication scheme is saved and may be assigned to application components (realms).
