Specify the Assertion Audience (Optional)

The AssertionAudience element identifies the location of a document that describes the terms and conditions of the business agreement between the producer and the consumer. The audience is determined by the administrator at the producer.

The AssertionAudience value should not exceed 1K; the entire assertion, which includes user profile data, the SAML audience information, and other standard SAML data should not exceed 4K.

To specify an AssertionAudience, enter a URL. This element is case-sensitive. For example:

<AssertionAudience>http://www.example.com/SampleAudience</AssertionAudience>

You are not required to set this attribute at the consumer or the producer. However, if you do specify an audience at both sites, the values that you enter at the consumer and the producer site must match. At the producer, you specify the audience via the Policy Server User Interface.

Note: For more information on configuring consumers, see the SiteMinder Federation Security Services Guide.
