Configuring the SAML Bridge in IIS 6.0
The SAML Bridge for Enterprise is implemented as a virtual directory that runs in IIS. In SAML Bridge 2.0,
the virtual directory is created automatically when you install the SAML Bridge. The following
instructions apply when you are using IIS 6.0.
Configuring the saml-bridge Virtual Directory as a Web
Application
Installing the SAML bridge creates two virtual directories, gsa-simulator and saml- bridge. In this
section, configure the saml-bridge virtual directory as a web application.
To configure the saml-bridge virtual directory as a web application:
1.
In the IIS Manager tree view, under the web site gsa-resource-kit, find the virtual directory called
saml-bridge, which the installer created during the installation process.
2.
Right click the virtual directory saml-bridge, and select Properties. The Properties dialog box
appears, showing the default tab Virtual Directory.
3.
In the Application Settings section, click Create.
4.
On the Execute Permissions drop-down list, ensure that the value is Scripts only.
5.
Write down the name that appears on the Application Pool drop-down menu.
6.
Click the Directory Security tab.
7.
In the Authentication and Access Control region, click Edit. The Authentication Methods dialog
box is displayed.
8.
Select Enable anonymous access if it is not already selected, and clear any options that are
selected in the Authenticated access region.
9.
Click OK to close the Authentication Methods dialog box and then click OK to close the
Properties dialog box.
Now you have configured the saml-bridge virtual directory as a web application.
