You can configure the methods of communication that are available at the server for requests and responses sent between providers. These settings affect the metadata for the server and should be determined prior to publishing to other sites.
In the Administration Console, click > > > > > .
Artifact Resolution: (SAML 2.0 only) The assertion consumer service at the service provider performs a back-channel exchange with the artifact resolution service at the identity provider. Artifacts are small data objects pointing to larger SAML protocol messages. They are designed to be embedded in URLs and conveyed in HTTP messages.
Login: Specifies whether to support Artifact or Post binding for login. The Artifact binding provides an increased level of security by using a back-channel means of communication between the two servers during authentication. The Post method uses HTTP redirection to accomplish communication between servers.
Single Logout: Enables the identity provider or service provider to accept HTTP and SOAP requests. Typically, you select both of these options. SOAP is used if both options are selected, or if the service provider has not specified a preference.
HTTP Redirect: A browser-based method that uses HTTP 302 redirects or HTTP GET requests to communicate requests from this identity site to the service provider. SAML messages are transmitted within URL parameters.
Federation Termination: (Liberty only) Specifies whether to use HTTP or SOAP profiles. Typically, you select both of these options, which enables the identity provider or service provider to accept both HTTP and SOAP requests. SOAP is the default setting if the service provider has not specified a preference.
Register Name: (Liberty only) Specifies whether to use HTTP or SOAP profiles. Typically, you select both of these options, which enables the identity provider or service provider to accept both HTTP and SOAP requests. SOAP is the default setting if the service provider has not specified a preference.
Name Management: (SAML 2.0 only) Specifies the binding protocol for the SAML Name Identifier Management profile. Name management is how the system manages the sharing of common identifiers for a principal between identity and service providers. When an identity provider has exchanged a persistent identifier for the principal with a service provider, the providers share the common identifier for a length of time. When either the identity or service provider changes the format or value to identify the principal, the system can ensure that the new format or value is properly transmitted.
