Customizing SAML 2.0 Assertion Responses

You can implement your own business logic in addition to the standard SAML authentication processing using the Message Consumer Plug-in. This plug-in lets you further manipulate a SAML 2.0 assertion response, which is part of the SAML 2.0 authentication processing.

The Message Consumer Plug-in is SiteMinder's Java program that implements the SAML 2.0 Message Consumer Extension API. The plug-in can be integrated using settings provided by the SAML 2.0 authentication scheme.
