How Use Case 2 Works

Use case two for Federation Manager and SiteMinder Agent for SAP Web AS implementations assumes the following conditions:

The example in use case two works according to the following process:

  1. The user authenticates to the asserting party.
  2. The asserting party passes an assertion to Federation Manager at the relying party.
  3. The Federation Manager creates a FEDPROFILE cookie.
  4. The user is redirected to the target resource on the SAP Web AS J2EE server.
  5. The SAP Web Application server invokes the login module.
  6. The SiteMinder login module (in the login stack of the SAP Web AS) extracts the contents of the FEDPROFILE cookie. The login module authenticates the session of the user to the SAP Web AS based on the User Identity present in the FEDPROFILE cookie.
  7. The SAP Web AS authorizes the user, and then allows access to the requested resource.
