Subject: RE: [saml-dev] the value of AuthnInstant
> I don't think this leaves much to deployment/implementation > interpretation. Since the SAML 1 text was largely identical and it was explicitly stated to me on many occasions that this was up to interpretation, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm not trying to argue it isn't reasonable to be more explicit, but it does burden implementations a bit. It's a plain fact that older IdPs varied on this, partly because there was no AuthenticationMethod called out to say "reused a session" and we often just re-sent the original method. Whether the timestamp got updated or preserved was entirely dependent on whether the IdP had any way to remember it or not. Some did, some didn't (and no, the one I worked on did not, at least not by default). -- Scott
