Set up a SAML Requestor to Generate Attribute Queries

For a Service Provider to act as a SAML Requester, you need to configure a SAML 2.0 authentication scheme so that an attribute query can be generated.

To configure the Service Provider as a SAML Requester:

1. Log on to the FSS Administrative UI.
2. Display the Authentication Schemes object and double-click an existing SAML 2.0 authentication scheme or create a new scheme.

   The Authentication Scheme Properties dialog opens.

3. Click Additional Configuration.

   The SAML 2.0 Auth Scheme Properties dialog opens.

4. From this dialog you will configure fields in the following dialogs:
   • Attributes tab
   • NameIDs tab
   • Backchannel tab
5. Finally, you will configure a Federation Attribute Variable.
