Thanks for the reply but I think I was misunderstood since I was not clear on the point. By validating the token, I did not mean validating the structure and format of the token but rather validate that the token was not tampered with, that it is issued by the trusted third party and issued for the user submitting it.probably a better wording would be validating the assertions? I am not sure what terms are used with thisSo when the service receives the token from the client, what does it do to the token exactly? Does rampart use PKI in this process or does it contact the STS that issued the token? Sincerely,
