Authentication Scheme Properties Dialog--WS-Federation Template

If you have purchased SiteMinder Federation Security Services, you can configure the WS-Federation authentication scheme. After the scheme is configured, you can assign it to a realm.

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.
