Use Case 8: Multi-protocol Support

In Use Case 8, smcompany.com issues assertions for ahealthco.com and discounts.com. Ahealthco.com uses SAML 2.0 for User1 to communicate between smcompany.com and ahealthco.com. Discounts.com uses SAML 1.0 for User2 to communicate between smcompany.com and discounts.com. The assertions must be suitable for the particular protocol used by the SP consuming the assertion.
