Configure SAML application support.
SAML is an XML-based, OASIS standard for exchanging user identity and security attributes information. We 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 WAS v7.0.7 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 v8.5, the SAML feature is available in all profiles by default.
