Digital Signing Options at the Service Provider

The SAML 2.0 authentication scheme configuration includes digital signing options for the following transactions:

• Authentication requests
• Single logout requests and responses
• Artifact resolve messages—for resolution of a SAML artifact to retrieve the assertion.
• Attribute queries—for authorizations taking place between an Attribute Authority (IdP) and a SAML Requester(SP).

To specify the signing options

1. Open the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog for the SAML 2.0 Template authentication scheme.
2. Select Signing Options.

   The Signing Options dialog opens.

   Complete the Signing Alias and Signature Algorithm settings.
