Configure an Active Portal Session

To configure an active portal session at the producer

There is no specific setting to configure an active portal session model. You configure assertions as you would normally.

To configure an active portal session at the consumer

1. Modify the AffiliateConfig.xml configuration file:
   • <SessionModel>Default</SessionModel>
   • RequireActivePortalSession="yes"
   • AllowUnknownUsers="no"
2. Check that the AllowUnknownUsers element is set to no. This setting must be no because the RequireActivePortalSession set to yes in the previous step.

   Unknown users do not get a session cookie at the producer.
