Upload Websense metadata

In order for the Websense proxy to play the role of a SAML service provider and talk to Authentication Service, you must upload Websense SAML metadata to your administration console. The metadata is an XML file that contains the public key certificates needed to validate signed SAML AuthnRequests sent to Authentication Service, and defines the URL that receives SAML Responses from Authentication Service.

The XML metadata file is available at http://www.mailcontrol.com/crl/sp_metadata.xml.

To upload the file to your Authentication Service:

1.	Copy the Websense metadata file to a location that is accessible from the browser session being used for the Administration Console.

2.	In the administration console, go to Configure > Federation.

3.	In the Upload SP metadata field, enter the path to the XML file.

4.	Click Save and Restart.

5.	After the restart, define the SAML attributes to use by checking all of the boxes.

6.	Click Save and Restart.
