Configure a SAML Session Ticket Response

SAML Session Ticket responses are actions that tell SOA Agents to send SAML Session Tickets to web service implementations. These responses are bound to rules and triggered when those rules fire.

Use variable types, if needed, to pass data back to the web service. Variables are resolved by the Policy Server at run time, when it generates the response.

Before you configure a SAML Session Ticket response, do the following:

• If the public keys used in assertions are going to be stored in the user directory, define an attribute in your directory to store these public keys, and make sure it is available to the Policy Server.

  Note: This is not required if the public key is included in the client’s submitted XML document or obtained from a certificate over the SSL link.

• In an authentication service environment, create an application to protect the authentication service. This policy includes the following:
  • A realm that protects the authentication service URL
  • A rule that fires when a user posts an XML document to the authentication service realm
