13.5 Configuring the Web Service Consumer

The Web service consumer is the component within the identity provider that requests attributes
from Web service providers. The identity provider and Web services consumer cooperate to redirect
the user or resource owner to the identity provider, allowing interaction. You can configure an
interaction service, which allows the identity provider to pose simple questions to a user. This
service can be offered by trusted Web services consumers, or by a dedicated interaction service
provider that has a reliable means of communication with the users.

Consumers
The following general settings configure time limits and processing speed:
Protocol Timeout (seconds): Limits the time the transport protocol allows.
Provider Timeout (seconds): Limits the request processing at the Web service provider. This
value must always be equal to or greater than the Protocol Timeout value.
Attribute Cache Enabled: A subsystem of the Web service consumer that caches attribute
data that the Web service consumer requests. For example, if the Web service consumer has
already requested a first name attribute from a Web service provider, the Web service consumer
does not need to request the attribute again. This setting improves performance when enabled.
However, you can disable this option to increase system memory.
2 Specify how and when the identity provider interacts with the user:
