Provider Alias

Defines the alias name for the local identity provider.

Authentication Type

Select the provider that should be used for authentication requests from a provider hosted locally:

• Remote specifies that the provider hosted locally would contact a remote identity provider upon receiving an authentication request.

• Local specifies that the provider hosted locally should contact a local identity provider upon receiving an authentication request (essentially, itself).

Assertion Issuer

Defines the name of the host that issues the assertion. This value might be the load balancer's host name if OpenSSO Enterprise is behind one.

Responds With

Specifies the type of statements the identity provider can generate. For example lib:AuthenticationStatement.

Provider Status

Defines whether the identity provider is active or inactive. Active, the default, means the identity provider can process requests and generate responses.
