To Configure Affiliate Attributes for an Affiliate Entity

Before performing this procedure, you must have completed the steps in To Configure an Affiliate Entity.

1. Select any of the available provider entities to add to the affiliation.

   A provider must be a member of an authentication domain as, without a specified authentication domain, it cannot participate in Liberty-based communications. The provider can belong to one or more affiliations. Also, be sure that the selected provider has the Affiliation Federation attribute enabled and the Protocol Support Enumeration attribute set to urn:liberty:iff:2003-08 to enable the Liberty ID-FF version 1.2.

2. Choose Affiliate from the View menu and provide information for the Common Attributes.

   Common Attributes contain values that generally define the affiliation.

   Name

   The value of this attribute is the name of the affiliation.

   Owner

   The value of this attribute is the owner of the affiliation.

   Signing Key: Key Alias

   Type the key alias that is used to sign requests and responses.
