When you create an identity provider, you must also configure an authentication card. After it is created, you can modify it.
In the Administration Console, click > > > >
Modify the values in one or more of the following fields:
ID: If you have need to reference this card outside of the user interface, specify an alphanumeric value here. If you do not assign a value, the Identity Server creates one for its internal use. The internal value is not persistent. Whenever the Identity Server is rebooted, it can change. A specified value is persistent.
Text: Specify the text that is displayed on the card to the user. This value, in combination with the image, should identify to the users, which provider they are logging into.
Image: Specify the image to be displayed on the card. Select the image from the drop-down list. To add an image to the list, click .
Show Card: Determine whether the card is shown to the user, which allows the user to select and use the card for authentication. If this option is not selected, the card is only used when a service provider makes a request for the card.
Passive Authentication Only: Select this option if you do not want the Identity Server to prompt the user for credentials. If the Identity Server can fulfill the authentication request without any user interaction, the authentication succeeds. Otherwise, it fails.
Satisfies Contract: Select the contract from the drop-down list which creates a mapping between external provider class reference to local authentication contract.
Click twice, then update the Identity Server.

Login URL: Specify an Intersite Transfer Service URL.The URL has the following format, where idp.sitea.novell.com is the DNS name of the identity provider, idp.siteb.novell.com is the name of the service provider, and idp.siteb.novell.com:8443/nidp/app specifies the URL that you want to users to access after a successful login:
https://idp.sitea.novell.com:8443/nidp/saml/idpsend?PID=https://idp.siteb.novell.com:8443/nidp/saml/metadata&TARGET=https://idp.siteb.novell.com:8443/nidp/app
For more information, see Specifying the Intersite Transfer Service URL for the Login URL Option.
If your identity provider is a Novell Identity Server and you know the ID specified for the target, you can use the following simplified format for the Login URL:
<URL for site a>?id=<ID of target>
For example:
https://idp.sitea.novell.com:8443/nidp/saml/idpsend?id=206test
The target and the target ID are specified in the service provider configuration at the identity provider. See Configuring an Intersite Transfer Service Target for a Service Provider.
