The SAMLAuthentication policy uses a SAML token to provide client authentication and includes a Timestamp token to guard against replay attacks. This policy does not enforce signatures or encryption.
Important:
Before you can use this policy, you must edit the policy file in the Software AG_directory \IntegrationServer\instances\instance_name\config\wss\policies directory and fill in the address of Secure Token Service (STS).
