Configuration Overview to Supply Attributes as HTTP Headers

There are several configuration steps required to retrieve the SAML attributes cached in the session store and provide them as HTTP headers.

The components you must configure are as follows

1. Select PersistAttributes as the redirect mode for the SAML authentication scheme. This enables the SAML Attributes to be returned as HTTP headers.
2. Configure an authorization rule for the realm that contains the target resource.
3. Configure a response that uses the active response type for each SAML attribute to be supplied as a header.
4. Create a policy that binds the authorization rule and active response to implement the user of attributes as HTTP headers.
