Specify Affiliate Resources that Use Unique Responses and Headers

You may have resources at the affiliate Web server that require unique response and header information from the producer. For the SAML Affiliate Agent to manage these requirements, configure the following:

• Multiple PerAffiliateInfo sections in the AffiliateConfig.xml file with unique AffiliateName and AffiliateResource values.

  The unique values enable the Policy Server to call the correct policy at the producer. The AffiliateName enables the SAML Affiliate Agent to distinguish different consumers within the file.

• Unique consumers configured at the producer, each with their own consumer name and password.

  The Policy Server at the producer differentiates the consumer only by the consumer name.

For example, to configure multiple consumers, the AffiliateConfig.xml would include the following sections. Note the lines in bold.

<PerAffiliateInfo Enabled="no" AllowPOSTs="no"    AllowUnknownUsers="no" RequireActivePortalSession="no"><!--     Name of the affiliate asconfigured in the portal  -->
  <AffiliateName>FirstAffiliate</AffiliateName>
  <CompanySourceID>b818452610a0ea431bff69dd346aeeff83128b6a
     </CompanySourceID>
  <AffiliateResource MatchingRule="StrictPrefix">app1
     </AffiliateResource>
          .

</AffiliateConfig>
