Hello all,

I am considering to help fixing a few issues already in Jira. Currently
what's burning is https://wso2.org/jira/browse/IDENTITY-2585

Just as my background - I am working on a SSO project (not the first one)
leveraging SAML features (which got very popular).

Optimal state is that the RequestedAuthnContext in the SAML AuthRequest is
optional, configurable (and some projects even require multiple values of
the AuthnContextClassRef value).

Let's keep it moderate - assume the parameter is optional, single value and
configurable. What needs to be updated? I'll try to list what I found to
update and please shoot if I missed something.

SAMLSSOConfiguration
  - data object
  - file based configuration
  - database schema
  - admin web service
  - Admin UI
  - ??? anything else?

DefaultSAML2SSOManager
 - business logic to get and use the parameter

As a simlyfied resolution I'd propose the RequestedAuthnContext will not be
created for the SAML AuthRequest at all and this way the remote IdP will be
happy to do as it likes. This is a commonly used option in other products.
It will be much better than any hardcoded value.  (Many organizations do
Client Certificate authentication or use custom values for this parameter)


Best regards
