Federation

Attribute Statement

An Attribute Statement is the part of a SAML assertion that carries identity attributes about the authenticated subject.

Definition

An Attribute Statement is the assertion section used to transmit identity-related data such as profile elements, group information, or status fields from the identity provider to the service provider. It enriches the federated session with data needed for recognition, access mapping, or personalization.

The Ariovis perspective

Federation is an architecture choice, not a product checkbox. Ariovis assesses protocols, trust relationships, application constraints and migration paths before defining the target.
