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

[Mike Cirioli]

Adam -
If i understand what you are asking correctly, that is exactly the 
scenario we have for all the SP's available through our internal 
PicketLink IdP.  Authn requests are not signed, but all assertions are 
being signed by the IdP and validated by the SP's.
