Re: [saml-dev] Confusion regarding AuthnContext

Tom,

Appreciate your response. I think it was coming but still do you know of any real-life SP's which restrict AuthnContextClass to a particular class and do not allow it to be configurable on the SP side?  

Thanks.

I should think the answer to this question is obvious. If what you (as
an IdP) assert in the authentication response is false, then clearly
there is no basis for trust whatsoever.
