SiteMinder Rejects Assertion if <NameIdentifier> Element is Embedded in the <SubjectConfirmation> Value (51696)

Symptom:

SiteMinder rejects a SAML assertion if the <NameIdentifier> element is put in the XML assertion within the <SubjectConfirmation> value.

Solution:

The search for the <NameIdentifier> has been restricted to only the immediate next child level so this is no longer a problem.
