SAML 1.x Matching Configuration Settings

The following table lists SiteMinder configuration settings that must be set to the same value at the SAML 1.x producer and consumer. The table also indicates the dialog or file where these settings are located. Most of these settings are in the FSS Administrative UI; however, some parameters are in a properties file or part of a link.

Important! If you have to enter a URL as a value for a setting, the URL string that comes after the colon, for example, "http:" is case sensitive. Therefore, the case of the URLs in all Audience-related settings and Assertion Consumer URL-related settings must match.
