[security-dev] How to configure ServiceProviderAuthenticator to do this ?

I see, that is PicketLink's IDP behavior.

The IDP (from another vender) that my picketlink SP is interaction with does NOT want signed AuthnRequest, but it will sign assertion in response.

So my question is from my picketlink SP point of view: could it be configured to not sign AuthnRequest, but still be able to verify signature of assertion in response.

Thanks,
Adam

If your IdP is configured to support signatures and you send a unsigned AuthnRequest, it will allow you to authenticate. However, once you submit your credentials the IdP will process the AuthnRequest (which was previously stored) and it will fail because it is not signed.

So the SAML response/assertion will never be sent to the SP.

 To send AuthnRequest without signature (without signing), but can still verify the signature of assertion in the response ?

Thanks,
