How To Configure a SAML 1.x Consumer
Configuring CA SiteMinder® as SAML 1.x consumer requires the following tasks:

- Select the authentication scheme type and assign it a name.
- Specify the namespace for users being authenticated with the SAML 1.x authentication scheme.
- Select the single sign-on profile that this consumer supports (artifact or POST).
- Configure a SAML authentication scheme for each Producer that is a federation partner and generates assertions. Bind each scheme to a realm. The realm must contain the target URLs for federated resources. Protect these resources with a CA SiteMinder® policy.

Navigating Legacy Federation Dialogs
The Administrative UI provides two ways to navigate to the legacy federation configuration dialogs.
You can navigate in one of two ways:
- Following a wizard to configure a new legacy federation object.
When you create an object, a page displays with a configuration wizard. Follow the steps in the configuration wizard to create the object.

- Selecting tabs to modify an existing legacy federation object.
When you modify an existing object, a page displays with a series of tabs. Modify the configuration from these tabs. These tabs are the same as the steps in the configuration wizard.
