Configuration of CtxSFSamlTokenTest

Using this test, administrators can determine how quickly the serialization and deserialization calls were serviced. In addition, the time taken for serializing and deserializing the security tokens can also be measured. These metrics will help the administrators to find out where exactly the user authentication process is delayed-is it during serialization? or during deserialization?

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. By default, this parameter is set to 5 minutes.

• In the HOST text box, the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is 443.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
