SOAP Back Channel

The SOAP back channel is the channel that the protocols use to communicate directly with a provider. The SOAP back channel is used for artifact resolutions and attribute queries for the Identity Web Services Framework.

To view your current configuration for the SOAP back channel:

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit.

  2. Select the protocol (Liberty, SAML 1.1, or SAML 2.0), then click the name of an identity provider or service provider.

  3. Click Trust.

  4. View the Security section. If the Message Signing option is selected, signing is enabled for the SOAP back channel.
