Step | For more information, see... |
|---|---|
Step 1 : Confirm that your system meets the requirements for configuring identity bridging with SAML. | Identity Bridging Requirements |
Step 2 : Connect to the Federated Gateway B. | Connect to the API Gateway |
Step 3 : Add the signing certificate from the Trusted Authority (issued by the Trusted Authority's CA) to the trust store of Federated Gateway. | Add a New Certificate
|
Step 4 : Create a new Federated Identity Provider (FIP) in Federated Gateway. | Create a Federated Identity Provider
|
Step 5 : Configure a policy with the SAML Token for the shared web service. | Configure SAML Policies for Identity Bridging |
Step 6 : Configure authentication against the Federated Identity Provider (FIP). | Authenticate Against Identity Provider Assertion |
Step 7 : Consume the shared web service. |
