Use this table when configuring a WSFED authentication scheme based on the WSFED scheme type. A Resource Partner uses this authentication scheme to transparently validate a user based on the information in a SAML 1.0 assertion. This transparent validation allows functionality such as single sign-on and single logout.
When you configure a WSFED authentication scheme, you also define metadata properties for the associated Account Partner, that is, the Account Partner that supplies the assertion to the Resource Partner.
The properties of the Account Partner are stored with the authentication scheme object as a separate set of properties. As a result, two structures are used to configure a WSFED authentication scheme:
This authentication scheme requires SiteMinder Federation Security Services. The Federation Security Services feature is licensed separately.
