System Layout

You should have two separate iChain/SAML extension systems set up. Each should have its own iChain, Web server, directory, and SAML extension server. The goal is for a user to be able to log in to either the iChainSite or the eMartian application and get single sign-on access to the other site. Not only should the user be authenticated at the partner site, but the partner should be able to display customized content to that user based upon attributes sent from the partner site. Figure 46 shows this configuration:

iChainSite/eMartian Configuration


Prerequisites

It is assumed that you have already created the scenario shown in Figure 46, with a complete iChain/SAML extension system setup for both iChainSite and eMartian. Refer to Setting Up the iChainSite SAML Sample Site and Setting Up the eMartian Sample Site if you have not set up these sample sites.
