If you have purchased SiteMinder Federation Security Services, you can configure the SAML 2.0 Template authentication scheme.

Scheme Common Setup Group Box

This group box lets you identify the authentication scheme.

Name

Designates a name for the authentication scheme.

Note: When Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is used as a policy store, the maximum length for the authentication scheme name is 22 characters.

Description

Provides a description of the authentication scheme.

Protection Level

Allows single sign-on for authentication schemes of equal or lower protection levels within the same policy domain, while requiring additional authentication to access resources with higher protection level schemes.

Limits: 1 and 1000.

Authentication schemes have a default protection level that you may need to change. High protection levels should be used for critical resources, while lower level schemes should be used for commonly accessible resources.
