2. From the System tab, select Authentication Schemes.
3. Select Partner IdP.demo Auth Scheme and right-click to open the properties for this scheme.
4. Click Additional Configuration.
5. Select the SSO tab.
6. On the SSO tab, check HTTP-Artifact and enter the following value for the Resolution Service field:

   https:/www.idp.demo:443/affwebservices/saml2artifactresolution

   • Authentication

     Basic

   • SP Name

     sp.demo

   • Password

     password
