Remarks

A RequestedAuthenticationContext object can be used to specify the desired method or methods of authentication and a comparison rule when performing IdP-initiated sign-on. It is used to set the SignOnRequestParameters.RequestedAuthenticationContext property of the SignOnRequestParameters object passed to the IdentityProviderInitiatedSignonPage.SignIn(String, SignOnRequestParameters) method.

The RequestedAuthenticationContext class is a limited representation of the <samlp:RequestedAuthnContext> element; it does not provide support for <AuthnContextDeclRef> child elements.
