identity-assertion-trust

Specifies identity assertion trust domain configuration information according to RFC 3325. P-asserted identity headers received from hosts and domains configured under this element can be trusted. A P-asserted identity header specifies the identity of a user who was authenticated at another node in the network.

If no identity-assertion-trust is defined, this represents presumed trust, that is, any identity assertion that is received is trusted based on a presumption that the network topology would prevent non-trusted assertions from reaching the server.
