3 Protocol Details

  • Article

The following sections specify the IP/STS and relying party protocol details. Each section details role-specific behavior for the extensions specified in this document. There is not a section for the web browser requestor role because additional protocol details for the web browser requestor other than those specified in [MS-MWBF] section 3.4 do not exist.

The IP/STS details (see section 3.1) apply to both the requestor IP/STS and resource IP/STS roles. The relying party details (see section 3.2) apply to both the resource IP/STS and Web service (WS) resource roles.

Because the behavior for issuance and consumption of the SIDs is implementation-specific, an abstract data model is not introduced for the SAML 1.1 Assertion Extension. Hence, sections 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 do not have subsections for that extension.
