Create a point of contact profile

Create a point of contact server profile to capture the information needed for the runtime to communicate with the point of contact server. We can create point of contact profiles with the Federation module or the Advanced Access Control module. Three point of contact profiles provided by Security Verify Access are ready for use. To create our own profile similar to an existing one, use Create Like to save time. If we do not want to reuse any of the existing specifications, create a brand new one with Create. The details are in the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. From the local management interface, select either...

      Federation > Global Settings > Point of Contact
      AAC > Global Settings > Point of Contact

    A list of point of contact server profiles displays. The list includes three preconfigured profiles and any custom profiles.

  2. Click Create to create a custom point of contact profile.

    Select a profile from the list and click Create Like to start with values similar to an existing profile.

  3. On the Profile Name page, enter the name of the profile.

    The first character of the profile name must be alphanumeric. The maximum number of characters is 200.

  4. Optional: Enter a description.

  5. Specify the parameter information:

    • Enter the information on each tabbed page, and click Next.

    • In the Callback Parameters section on each page, click Create to open a window to add a set of parameter name and value pairs. Click Save when complete.

    • Add as many parameters as we need. The Value field might be empty for some parameters.

    • To delete a parameter name from the list, select the parameter and click Delete.

  6. At the Summary page, if everything is correct, click Finish.

  7. Deploy the pending changes.
