Session Server Error When Assertion Attribute Value is Blank or NULL (76985, 83120, 83703)

Symptom:

If you select PersistAttributes for the Redirect Mode of a SAML or WS-Federation authentication scheme, a session server error occurs when an attribute value in an assertion is blank or set to Null.

Solution:

If you choose PersistAttributes and the assertion contains attributes that are left blank, a value of NULL is written to the session store. This value acts as a placeholder for the empty attribute and it is passed to any application using the attribute.

For more information about the Redirect Mode, see the Federation Security Services Guide.
