STS Client

The Security Token Service (STS) Client interface allows you to create and configure a client that communicates with OpenSSO Enterprise's Security Token service in order to obtain a Security Token. OpenSSO Enterprise provides the mechanism to create the following types of STS client agents:

Discovery Agent

Allows you to configure a Discovery Agent Client that communicates with the Liberty Discovery Service to obtain a Liberty-based security token. This configuration defines the attributes for securing Liberty requests from the Discovery client to the Liberty Discovery end point.

Security Token Service Agent

Allows you to configure a Security Token Service agent that communicates with OpenSSO Enterprise's Security Token Service to obtain web service-based security tokens. This configuration defines the attributes for securing web service Trust requests from the STS client to the STS end point.
