Once basic authentication is set up to protect a SAML v2 SOAP endpoint, all entities communicating with this endpoint must configure three basic authentication-related attributes in the extended metadata as described in the following table. These attributes are located in the Assertion Content tab of the SAMLv2 entity provider profile.
