Configure the Backchannel for the Attribute Query

The attribute query is sent across a secure backchannel to the Attribute Authority.

Note: There is only one backchannel between the Service Provider and the Identity Provider. Therefore, the backchannel configuration that you define for the attribute query is the same backchannel configuration that is used if you configure the SAML artifact profile.

To configure the backchannel

1. If necessary, access the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog for the SAML requester.
2. Click on Additional Configuration
3. Select the Backchannel tab.
4. Complete the following fields:
   • Authentication
   • SP Name
   • Password
   • Confirm Password
