Switch On Switch Off OpenSSO SAMLv2 Services

Currently, the SAMLv2 Service servlets are always listening. For example, if you don't want to use the Artifact Resolution Service or the Manage Name ID Service it is still on. To switch the services off, you can remove the endpoints from the entity provider's configuration.

1. Log into the OpenSSO console as administrator.
2. Click the Federation tab.
3. Click the name of the entity provider for which you want switch off a particular SAMLv2 Service.
4. Click the Services tab.
5. Remove the appropriate endpoint.
6. Click Save.

You can also use the ssoadm command line interface.

1. Use ssoadm export-entity to export the extended metadata.
2. Modify the exported extended metadata.
3. Use ssoadm delete-entity to delete the original extended metadata.
4. Use ssoadm import-entity to import the modified extended metadata.

Disabled services return an HTTP error code.

Interestingly enough, after I titled this entry using the B-Movie single Switch On Switch Off, I was unable to find a video for that song anywhere. (It was a failed single but really this IS the internet.) In absentia, here is B-Movie's biggest hit (of which there are plenty of videos) Nowhere Girl.
