Subject: RE: [saml-dev] SAML 2.0 pseudonyms
Thanks for reply Tom. My question is that if I could pass these persistent name identifiers(i.e. pseudonyms), as _simple_ name identifiers of SAML. Then why do we need to have separate support for pseudonyms, in SAML ? Thanks. ________________________________ From: Tom Scavo [mailto:trscavo@gmail.com] Sent: Wed 11/28/2007 4:11 PM To: Moniava, G.

The word "pseudonym" appears only once in SAMLCore, with respect to persistent name identifiers, so I assume that's what you're referring to. > Particularly, as I understood > SAML 2.0 doesnt state ways how the pseudonyms should be generated, rather > it just offers means of transporting them to requester parties. You're right, the spec does not say how persistent identifiers are generated, but it does give their properties (persistent, opaque, etc.). > If that is true, than > why could not we use, simple <uid> fields for transporting these pseudonyms. You could, I suppose. > Are there any benefints for having seperate, support for pseudonyms in SAML 2.0 ? I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps I've misunderstood your questions. Can you elaborate? Thanks, Tom
