Configure STS modules

Configure Security Token Service (STS) modules to validate and exchange security token types. The STS is a component of the federation runtime that accepts WS-Trust requests for the validation and exchange of one security token type for another. We can configure the STS artifacts, which consist of modules, templates, and chains. These configuration elements allow an incoming WS-Trust message to be mapped to a particular template and its configuration.

These steps apply to the configuration for all of the Supported module types.

Steps

  1. Configure the token module prerequisites.
    1. Set up attribute sources.
    2. Set up server connections.
    3. Import the LTPA key file.
    4. Import the JavaScript mapping rule file.
  2. View the module instances available.
  3. Create a new template or use an existing one.
  4. Create a new module chain.
  5. Use the Properties tab inside of the module chain for the module to configure the module properties.
    1. Supported module types
    2. Token module properties
    3. STSRequest and STSResponse access using a JavaScript mapping rule
