RE: [saml-dev] Consent in the RequestAbstractType.
Title: Consent in the RequestAbstractType.

So for example

the SP could provide a portal/form where the user has to 
explicitly to tick a box before the SP can initiate an AuthRequest with an 
IDP.

 

Looking at the identifiers,

I guess implicit is the case when there is not a tick box 
but may be a Warning message for example, but I don't quite understand the 
difference between explicit and obtained, aren't they the same 
?

 

Also I guess from a SAML point of view (a part the fact 
that a Request SHOULD be Signed in case there is a consent attribute) the 
behavior at the IDP is out of scope.

 

Thanks.

Giuseppe.

Consent in the RequestAbstractType.

 

It is a flag to indicate that the Requestor is 
actively asserting that they have obainted the consent of the user to make 
this request.  

 

The use case is primarily around privacy and potential 
ramifications on an Requestor who performs such an operation without having 
collected consent (their argument about "not knowing they needed consent" has 
less strength when they have a flag this flag set).

Hi, 
Can anyone 
  please help me understanding the attribute "Consent" in an abstractRequest ? 
  
Are there any use cases ? 

  
Thanks. 
Giuseppe.
