SAML assertion allows to configure SAML assertion-based representations for authenticated subjects. The SAML representation allows you to define templates for the contents of SAML assertions. These templates are used in the federation configuration. The general approach is:

  • There can be multiple SAML assertion construction templates; each one is distinguished by an identifier. One subject template and multiple attribute statement templates can be assigned to each SAML assertion construction template.

  • A subject construction template describes the contents of Subject child elements of Assertion elements in SAML, particularly the format and source of the name identifiers and the proof-of-possession model.

  • An attribute statement construction template comprises multiple attribute construction templates

  • An attribute construction template describes the contents of Attribute child elements of Assertion elements in SAML, particularly the attribute name and format plus an attribute value template.

  • An attribute value construction template describes the construction and assignment of an attribute value. It comprises an attribute value type and source

  • An authentication statement construction template comprises multiple SAML authentication context templates.

  • An authentication context template describes a SAML authentication context.
