Thanks,
Would the assertion ID be found in the process.log and then in turn leading to the user ID or would that be somewhere else?

Cheers,
Andi

There isn't anything, but you can get the assertion ID from the SP and
then track back with that.

Using hashing as a strategy presupposes to some degree you don't have this
use case. That was one of the reasons we pushed the database approach, and
eventually after it was clear that wasn't going to result in anybody using
a database, we just decided to stop arguing over it because the number of
cases where people needed this was rare.
