The FSS Administrative UI is an applet-based application that is installed with the Policy Server and is used to manage Federation Security Services. Federation Security Services components consist of the affiliates (consumers, service providers, resource partners) and SAML authentication schemes that you configure to support federated communication between two partners.
The intent of the FSS Administrative UI is to let you manage SiteMinder Federation Security Services. If you are familiar with previous versions of the SiteMinder Policy Server User Interface, you will notice that all SiteMinder objects appear in the FSS Administrative UI. The only objects that do not appear are objects related to Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) and reports. You can use the FSS Administrative UI to manage the SiteMinder objects. If you need information while using the FSS Administrative UI, consult the FSS Administrative UI online help system.
You register the FSS Administrative UI with the Policy Server to ensure that the communication between both components is FIPS-encrypted (AES encryption).
Note: If you organization is not federating with a partner, you may safely leave the FSS Administrative UI on the Policy Server machine without registering it with the Policy Server.
