Enforce the Policies that Protect Federation Web Services
When you install the Policy Server, CA SiteMinder® creates policies for several services. These services comprise the Federation Web Services (FWS) application. For a few federation features, the relying party needs permission to access the associated protected service.
Adding a relying partner to a policy is a task that is done only at the asserting party.
For example, for the HTTP-Artifact binding, a policy protects the service from which CA SiteMinder® retrieves an assertion. For CA SiteMinder® to retrieve the assertion for a specific relying partner, that partner must be added as a user to the policy that protects the service.
The following table lists the FWS policy objects that are related to FWS services.

The policies that CA SiteMinder® creates support the following legacy federation features:
|
FWS Policy |
Federation Feature |
|---|---|
|
SAML2FWSArtifactResolutionServicePolicy |
Protects the artifact resolution service for SAML 2.0 artifact single sign-on |
|
FederationWSAssertionRetrievalServicePolicy |
Protects the assertion retrieval service for SAML 1.x artifact single sign-on |
|
SAML2FWSAttributeServicePolicy |
Protects the attribute authority service for SAML 2.0 |
|
FederationWSNotificationServicePolicy |
Protects the notification service. Notifications are only available if the SAML Affiliate Agent is the consumer. |
|
FederationWSSessionServicePolicy |
Protects the session service for session management. Session management is available only if the SAML Affiliate Agent is the consumer. |
If you are implementing federation features with FWS policies, the relying party needs permission to access the protected service.
Granting access involves the following tasks:
Other than adding users to a given policy, all other policy objects are set up automatically.
Detailed procedures for enforcing the HTTP-Artifact assertion retrieval and attribute authority policies are in the relevant sections for those features.
