Installation Overview

The SAML Affiliate Agent acts as a SAML 1.x consumer so it is installed at the consumer site. Consequently, this overview describes how to set up the consumer site in a SiteMinder federated network. The details for setting-up the producer site are described in the SiteMinder Federation Security Services Guide.

Note: Federation Security Services and the SAML Affiliate Agent are licensed separately from SiteMinder.

In the overview procedures:

• The variables web_agent_home and saml_affiliate_agent_home refer to the installed locations of the Web Agent and SAML Affiliate Agent respectively.
• The procedures refer to the latest SiteMinder releases. For other compatible versions, go to Technical Support and search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix.

Important! Perform these steps in the order shown.
