Permit Unknown Users Access to the Consumer

The AllowUnknownUsers attribute determines whether or not the SAML Affiliate Agent allows unknown users access to the consumer site. Unknown users are users who do not have a session at the producer site before coming to the consumer.

• To deny unknown users access to a consumer resource, accept the default value, which is no.
• To permit unknown users access to a resource, set the attribute to yes:

  AllowUnknownUsers="yes"

Note: If you set this attribute to yes, leave the RequireActivePortalSession element set to no. Unknown users do not get a session cookie at the producer, so you cannot require a producer session.
