If the user is authenticated by the IDP,
it'll send an Assertion withing the Response to the SP.
If there is no Assertion, the user is not
authenticated. There are statuses such as ...:AuthnFailed which can be set by
the IDP.
If there is an assertion, the SP can
verify and know that the user is authenticated.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [saml-dev] SP --> IDP
Auth
SP wants to know if the user is authenticated or not
(status: Y or N) at the IDP?
How can I do that?
Thanks
