Configuration Tasks for SAML 1.x Authentication

The tasks to create a SAML 1.x authentication scheme are listed in the following table.

Check Here	Task
	Create an authentication scheme for each producer that will generate assertions.
	Associate that scheme with a realm and add that realm as part of a policy. You can do this on a per producer basis or create a single custom authentication scheme and single realm.
	Optional: For SAML artifact authentication, you can configure client certificate authentication to access the assertion retrieval service.

Notes:

Certain parameter values at the producer and consumer must match for the configuration to work. A list of those parameters can be found in Configuration Settings that Must Use the Same Values.
To ensure you are using the correct URLs for the Federation Web Services servlets, review the list of URLs, which can be found in Federation Web Services URLs Used in SiteMinder Configuration.
