Preserve Assertion Data

You can store attribute data that the SAML Affiliate Agent retrieves from the assertion sent by the producer. The PersistenceLibrary attribute specifies the full name and path of the shared library that implements the Persistence API.

The SAML Affiliate Agent provides the data to be stored; the library specified in the PersistenceLibrary attribute determines where the data is actually stored, such as a database.

To direct the SAML Affiliate Agent to call the persistence library, enter the library path. For example:

• Windows:

  <PersistenceLibrary>c:\program files\netegrity\affiliateagent\bin\
  assertionlib.dll</PersistenceLibrary>

• UNIX:

  <PersistenceLibrary>/opt/netegrity/affiliateagent/bin/
  assertionlib.so</PersistenceLibrary>

Note: The persistence library must be provided by the consumer.
