Select a Producer-side Web Server for Back-channel Connections

The Affiliate Server component of the SAML Affiliate Agent communicates with the producer on behalf of the Affiliate Web server plug-in using a back-channel SSL connection. The Affiliate server cannot communicate with an SSL-enabled Web server if that server is configured to accept client certificates. Therefore, the Web server at the producer must be configured to ignore client certificates.
