Configure the SAML 1.x Message Consumer Plug-in

To configure the message consumer plug-in for artifact or POST authentication

1. From the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog, click Additional Configuration.

   The SAML 1.x. Auth Scheme Properties dialog opens.

2. Implement the plug-in class.

   A sample class, MessageConsumerPluginSample.java, can be found in sdk/samples/messageconsumerplugin.

3. In the Full Java Class Name field, enter the Java class name of the plug-in. This plug-in is invoked by the Message Consumer at run time.

   The plug-in class can parse and modify the assertion, and then return the result to the Message Consumer for final processing.

   Only one plug-in is allowed for each authentication scheme. For example, com.mycompany.messageconsumer.samplecode

   Note: Specify a Message Consumer plug-in for each authentication scheme.

4. Click OK to save the changes.

   You return to the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog.
