Manage federation partners

Use the Federations management page to create, modify, delete, enable, or disable the federation partners.

Steps

1. Log in to the local management interface.

2. Select Federation > Manage > Federations.

3. Select the federation to manage partners for.

4. Click Partners.

5. We can create, modify, delete, enable, or disable the federation partners.

   • To create a partner, click Add and follow the wizard.

     The wizard pages differ depending on the federation protocols. For a SAML 2.0 federation, the partner create wizard is a two-stage process.

     1. Upload the metadata file for the partner. A new partner matching the details in the metadata file is created.

     2. Complete the wizard to update some properties in the new partner.

        Even if the wizard is canceled after the metadata upload, the new partner is still created. The upload operation creates the partner. If you encounter a session timeout while creating a partner and then log back in, we might not be able to see the partner created. Click Refresh to get the latest data from the appliance.
