[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Requirement for AudienceRestriction when AppliesTo provided may be overly restrictive
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IMI-28
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/IMI-28
             Project: OASIS Identity Metasystem Interoperability (IMI) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael Jones
            Priority: Minor


The SAML 2.0 token profile currently says:
If the request contains a <wsp:AppliesTo> element, then a <saml:AudienceRestriction> containing a <saml:Audience> element MUST be included with the value of that element.

As part of the review of the draft SAML 1.1 token profile, Arun Nanda commented:  "This is overkill IMO. If an IdP is an open IdP that issues 'unscoped' tokens for consumption by any RP, it should not be forced to encode an audience in the issued token just because the request included it. So, may be SHOULD is preferred here..."
