Optional Federation Logon Procedure

The Logon Procedure box is optional.  If for example both Applications specified in the screenshot above have different logon procedures, only the logon procedure for the first application the end use logs into will be used.

However, some customers find that insecure and want a separate logon procedure for federated logon,  To accomplish this, create a Logon procedure for Federation the same way as you would do for any new Application

Once created you can apply it to the Federation you are building.
