Check the Web Server Setup at the Consumer

At the consumer site, set up one of the following configurations:

• Two web server instances with a SAML Affiliate Agent installed on each instance:
  • One web server for use by the SAML Affiliate Agent’s Web server plug-in
  • One web server set up as an SSL web server for use with the SAML Affiliate Agent’s Web server plug-in

    This server should have a certificate and support SSL connections so it can handle SSL requests that contain security information.

• One web server that supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. For example, framework Web Agents can have one web server instance with one SSL port and one non-SSL port for use by the Agent’s web server plug-in.

  Important! The SAML Affiliate Agent is not compatible with the FIPS 140-2 encryption standards.

For a list of supported web servers and operating systems, go to Technical Support, and search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix.

Note: Do not install a SAML Affiliate Agent with a SiteMinder Web Agent or XML Agent on the same Web server instance. Although this configuration is unlikely to occur in an actual federated network, it may be an issue in a testing environment.
