Known Issues for Partnership Federation

This section contains the following topics:

Metadata File Name is Incorrect During Metadata Export (172063)

SSO between CA SiteMinder® Federation and Microsoft Exchange Online (Office 365) Not Yet Available

Errors While Deploying affwebservices on WebLogic

Rename Localized Connector Library After Upgrade

Consistent Use of CONSUMERID or NAME in an Intersite Transfer URL Required (169724)

WSFED RP Entity with SAML 2.0 Token Type Not Supported (167916)

Metadata File Name is Incorrect During Metadata Export (172063)

Symptom:

For a Administrative UI using Internet Explorer 9, exporting metadata for a federation entity results in an incorrect file name that you cannot open or download.

When you export metadata at the entity level, a window opens and displays the information to be exported. After you review the information and click Export, a dialog at the bottom of the screen opens, asking to open or save the file. For example:

Do you want to open or save LocalIdPMetadata.xml from exampleserver01? 

Instead of using a proper metadata filename, it uses the name FileDownload. You cannot download the file with this name.

Solution:

For Internet Explorer 9, verify that the browser setting “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” is unchecked before exporting entity metadata. To download the metadata file successfully, this option must be disabled. The setting is in Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab, under the Security section.

SSO between CA SiteMinder® Federation and Microsoft Exchange Online (Office 365) Not Yet Available

Users cannot use Microsoft Outlook to log in to an email account hosted by Exchange Online, which is part of Office 365. The algorithm for signing assertions is preventing successful authentication. Users can still access Exchange Online using their web browsers and the CA SiteMinder® WS-Federation Passive Request SSO solution.

Microsoft is developing a solution to this problem.
