Setting SAML Links on a Source Server
On any page, you can add a link to a SAML target entity, such as a server. If the target accepts SAML assertions from the source server, when a known user clicks the link, no login credentials are required. If the target entity does not accept SAML assertions from the source server, or if the user is not known on the target entity, login credentials may be required.
(Deprecated—valid only with a SAML Artifact Receiver) Under the SAML specification, an intermediary called an artifact receiver can perform authentication on behalf of the target web application. In such a case, the SAML source requires two URLs: one for the Artifact Receiver and one for the target web application. You can place one or more SAML links on any page you have permission to edit.
You can place one or more SAML links on any page you have permission to edit.
To create a SAML link on a source page
1. In the upper right-hand corner of the page, click the Tools icon and click Edit Page.
2. In the Root list of the Available Portlets panel, click Links.
3. In the Links list of the Available Portlets panel, drag the wm_xt_ssolink portlet and drop it onto the page at the location where you want to add the link.
A red box appears beneath the cursor location whenever the cursor is over a valid page location, indicating where the portlet would be positioned if you released the mouse button.
4. On the left side of the page control area, click Save.
5. At the right edge of the title bar for the single sign-on portlet, click the Tools icon and click Properties.
6. In the Properties page make modifications as appropriate:

If you want to...
Name
Replace wm_xt_ssolink with the text that is to go with the link.
SAML Type
Select the version of the SAML specification to be used:
*SAML2 POST
*SAML1 POST
*SAML Artifact — (Deprecated)
SAML Authentication URL
Type the URL for a resource on the target computer. The target can be any page on a server.
(Deprecated) If you are connecting to a web application through a SAML Artifact Receiver, use this field for the Artifact Receiver URL.
Use POST or GET
(Deprecated— Valid only if the SAML Type field is set to SAML Artifact) Determines the method used to pass data to the target computer.
POST
Passes data to a gateway program’s STDIN. POST, the default, is the preferred method for single sign-on data.
GET
Passes data as a string appended to the URL after a question mark.
Assertion Parameter Name
The HTTP request parameter name where the server will look for the SAML assertion value. The default value is SAMLResponse.
Artifact Parameter Name
(Deprecated— Valid only if the SAML Type field is set to SAML Artifact) If this is a SAML connection with another server or other webMethods product, do not change the default value SAMLart. If this is a SAML connection to a third-party source, type the artifact parameter name used by the third-party application.
Application Target URL
(Deprecated) If you have typed the URL for a SAML Artifact Receiver in the SAML Authentication URL field, type the URL for a web application. Otherwise, leave this field empty.
