Re: [security-services] RE: AuthenticationMethod / NameIdentifier and Kerberos authentication

Tim,

I am working on the AuthnContext, and the mapping of SAML authentication 
methods to either the AC schema itself, or where possible, appropriate 
authentication context classes. I am working on a new draft of the 
document, and believe it will deal with your concerns as we've discussed 
in this thread.

Cheers,
