SAML Assertions
A SAML assertion includes:
- Affiliate attributes, such as:
- User profile information from a user directory, such as a user's email address or business title.
- User entitlements, such as the user's credit limit at the affiliate site.
- Session information (SAML 1.x assertions)—for example, whether the assertion producer and the consumer can maintain separate sessions.
Note: You can modify the default assertion that the Policy Server generates. You do so through a custom Java class that you create with the SiteMinder Java SDK. For information about modifying a SAML assertion, see the online SiteMinder Java API Documentation.
