The SAML Affiliate Agent enables businesses using the SiteMinder Policy Server and Web Agent to act as a main portal and share security and customer profile information with affiliated partners. The affiliated partners use only the SAML Affiliate Agent.
Note: The SAML Affiliate Agent only supports SAML 1.0 and it is not FIPS-compatible.
The SAML Affiliate Agent is a stand-alone component that provides single sign-on and session management capabilities to a consumer site that does not use the SiteMinder Policy Server and Web Agent. The consumer site, or affiliate, does not maintain identities for users at the producer, or portal, site. The affiliate site can determine that the user has been registered at the portal site, and optionally, that the user has an active SiteMinder session at the portal site. Based on affiliate policies configured at the portal, information can be passed to the affiliate and set as cookies or header variables for the affiliate web server.
For complete information about the SAML Affiliate Agent, see the SiteMinder SAML Affiliate Agent Guide.
