Configure a Custom Authentication Scheme

You use an Custom authentication scheme when you need to use a scheme that SiteMinder does not provide.

Note: The following procedure assumes that you are creating an object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. For more information, see Duplicate Policy Server Objects.

To configure the authentication scheme

1. Click Infrastructure, Authentication.
2. Click Authentication Scheme, Create Authentication Scheme.

   The Create Authentication Scheme pane opens.

3. Click OK.

   Authentication scheme settings open.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

4. Select Custom Template from the Authentication Type Style list.

   Scheme-specific settings open.

5. Enter a name and a protection level in the General group box.
6. Enter the library that is to process the credentials for the authentication scheme and the parameters that are passed to the library in the Scheme Setup group box.
7. Click Submit.

   The authentication scheme is saved and may be assigned to a realm.
