Set the Redirect Mode to Store SAML Attributes

After the consuming partner authenticates the user with the SAML assertion, the SAML attributes are written to the session store. The browser is then redirected to the target resource.

To redirect the browser with the attribute data

1. Log in to the FSS Administrative UI.
2. Access the SAML authentication scheme properties dialog.

   The properties dialog opens.

3. Set the Redirect Mode parameter to PersistAttributes.

   For SAML 1.x, the Redirect Mode is on the Scheme Setup tab. For SAML 2.0 and WS-Federation, the Redirect Mode is on the SSO tab accessed from the authentication scheme properties dialog.

4. Click OK to save your changes.

The redirect mode is now set to pass on the attribute data.
