Coding an external security exit to enable SAML support OM Web Viewer 12.1

Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

Is there documentation and/or sample code for user exit(s) needed for SAML support in OM Web Viewer 12.1? Does OM Web Viewer support SAML?

Environment

• Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
• Output Management Web Viewer 12.1

Resolution

OM Web Viewer can indirectly support Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) if you code a security exit to handle it. See Code the External Security Exit in our online documentation.

Additional Information

NOTE: This can be used for all security needs not just SAML.  

Your External Security EXIT must catch all exceptions. If the exception is passed on to Web Viewer, minimal diagnostics are presented. We highly recommend that you place all code that might throw an exception in try/catch statements and write diagnostic information to your own log file.
