About this task

Step 2 towards the goal: Securing web services using Security Markup Assertion Language (SAML)

Procedure

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based, OASIS standard for exchanging user identity and security attributes information. You can use the SAML function to apply a default policy to use SAML assertions in web services messages and in web services usage scenarios. In a typical SAML usage scenario, you authenticate to a security domain and request an identity provider to issue SAML assertions. In WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0.0.7 and later, to use the SAML default policy sets, sample SAML general bindings, and JAAS login configuration settings for SAML, you were required to set up the SAML configuration, which is stored in a profile. In WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5, the SAML feature is available in all profiles by default.

What to do next

Develop and assemble a SAML application.
