Configuring
SAML Bridge in IIS 6.0
SAML Bridge is implemented as a virtual directory that runs in IIS. In SAML Bridge 2.0 and later, the
virtual directory is created automatically when you install SAML Bridge, and files in the saml-bridge
virtual directory have anonymous access. The following instructions apply when you use IIS 6.0.
Configuring the SAML Bridge Virtual Directory as a Web Application
When you install SAML bridge, two virtual directories are created: gsa-simulator and saml-bridge.
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.
