RE: [saml-dev] Subject in the AuthRequest.
Title: Subject in the AuthRequest.

 

  
"The IdP 
  needs to consider whether or not the requestor is allowed to specify its own 
  key." 

Just to be clear, by this I was trying to say that the 
IDP will probably use other information (perhaps in the invocation context of 
the request) to determine if it accepts the request from the 
requestor..

  
If 
  from I guess its policies the IDP allow the key, would then build an assertion 
  (after authentication) with the same subject+confirmation as specified in the 
  request (is this a MUST/MAY or SHOULD)? 

If 
the IdP returns a positive response to the requestor, it MUST include 
the key in the assertion.  If, perhaps for some policy reason, it 
thinks that it cannot use the specified key, it would have to return an 
error.
