Audience Restriction

Audience Restriction is a SAML condition that limits an assertion to a specific intended service provider audience.

Definition

Audience Restriction is a control inside the assertion conditions that specifies which relying party is allowed to accept the assertion. Its purpose is to reduce misuse by ensuring that the assertion is valid only for the intended target service.
