Default Instances of the portlet
Administrative Folders > Administration Dashboard > Configuration > SAML Authentication Administration
Security. Administrators configure this portlet to enable the My webMethods Server's SAML single sign-on feature. This portlet is installed by default.
When the SAML single sign-on feature is enabled, My webMethods Server can receive SAML 1.1 artifacts and use them for single sign-on. To enable the feature, an administrator configures the endpoint URL that My webMethods Server is to use to validate the SAML artifacts.
When an end user clicks a link in a page from an external server and that link is to a My webMethods Server page, when SAML single sign-on is in use, the link includes a unique single-use artifact. The target My webMethods Server receives the artifact and attempts to validate it by invoking specific web services at the endpoint that the administrator configured on the SAML Authentication Administration page. The web service responds with the user name of the authenticated user who originally clicked the link.
General Properties
Security Provider URI (securityProviderURI)
Identifies the SAML security provider to use when the SAML authentication handler validates a received SAML artifact. Specify the endpoint of the SAML security provider. If the property has no value, the SAML authentication handler is disabled.
