Claims Provider

The Claims Provider in the Agent for SharePoint is used for configuring particular claim values to grant permissions to SharePoint resources using the SharePoint people picker. The Claims Provider is packaged as a SharePoint solution (WSP file) with its feature receiver.

The Claims Provider requires Directory Attribute Mappings that you configure using the CA SiteMinder Administrative UI. The Claims Provider uses these mappings to display the results of your searches in the SharePoint people picker.

Using the Claims Provider involves several separate procedures. Use the following process.

  1. Create virtual attribute mappings.
  2. Install the Claims Provider.
  3. Configure the Claims Provider.

Note: The Claims Provider for SharePoint installer supports Windows 64-bit Operating Systems.
