15.5. Configure STSValidatingLoginModule

The STSValidatingLoginModule uses a TokenCallback to ask the configured CallbackHandler an STS by retrieving a token.

Example 15.5. Configure STSValidatingLoginModule

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
<security-domain name="saml-validate-token">
    <authentication>
        <login-module
            code="org.picketlink.identity.federation.core.wstrust.auth.STSValidatingLoginModule" flag="required">
            <module-option name="configFile">./picketlink-sts-client.properties</module-option>
            <module-option name="endpointURI">http://security_saml/endpoint</module-option>
        </login-module>
    </authentication>
    <mapping>
        <mapping-module
            code="org.picketlink.identity.federation.bindings.jboss.auth.mapping.STSPrincipalMappingProvider"
            type="principal" />
        <mapping-module
            code="org.picketlink.identity.federation.bindings.jboss.auth.mapping.STSGroupMappingProvider"

    </mapping>
</security-domain>
The configuration cited in the example enables Single Sign-On for your applications and services. A token once issued, either by directly contacting the STS or through a token-issuing login module, can be used to authenticate against multiple applications and services by employing the setup provided in the example. Providing a Principal mapping provider and a RoleGroup mapping provider result in an authenticated Subject being populated that enables coarse-grained and role-based authorization. After authentication, the Security Token is available and can be used to invoke other services by Single Sign-On.
