After a service has been discovered and authorization data has been received from a trusted identity provider, the Web service consumer can invoke the service at the Web service provider. A Web service provider is the hosting or relying entity on the server side that can make access control decisions based on this authorization data and upon its business practices and preferences.
In the Administration Console click Edit > .
> >Select one of the following services:
Authentication Profile: Allows the system to access the roles and authentication contracts in use by current authentications. This profile is enabled by default so that embedded service providers can evaluate roles in policies. This profile can be disabled. When disabled, all devices assigned to use this Identity Server cluster configuration cannot determine which roles a user has been assigned, and the devices evaluate policies as if the user has no roles.
WARNING:Do not delete this profile. In normal circumstances, this profile is used only by the system.
Credential Profile: Allows users to define information to keep secret. It uses encryption to store the data in the directory the user profile resides in.
Custom Profile: Used to create custom attributes for general use.
Discovery: Allows requesters to discover where the resources they need are located. Entities can place resource offerings in a discovery resource, allowing other entities to discover them. Resources might be a user’s credit card information, a personal profile, calendar, travel preferences, and so on.
Employee Profile: Allows you to manage employment-related information and how the information is shared with others. A company address book that provides names, phones, office locations, and so on, is an example of an employee profile.
LDAP Profile: Allows you to use LDAP attributes for authorization and general use.
Personal Profile: Allows you to manage personal information and to determine how to share that information with others. A shopping portal that manages the user’s account number is an example of a personal profile.
User Interaction: Allows you to set up a trusted user interaction service, used for identity services that must interact with the resource owner to get information or permission to share data with another Web service consumer. This profile enables a Web service consumer and Web service provider to cooperate in redirecting the resource owner to the Web service provider and back to the Web service consumer.
