WS-Federation Signature Verification Error for Accented Characters in an Assertion (95586)

Symptom:

In a deployment where ADFS is operating as the Account Partner and Federation Security Services is operating as the Resource Partner, a signed assertion that contains accented characters fails signature verification at the Resource Partner.

Solution:

This is no longer an issue. Accented characters in an assertion are now properly processed during signature verification.
