SOAP Backchannel

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

To view your current configuration for the SOAP backchannel:

  1. On the Home page, click Identity Servers > [cluster name] > Edit.

  2. Select the protocol (SAML 2.0) and 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 backchannel.
