How can I keep SAML assertion in SP?

I configured memcache storage and I can see that SAML assertion is stored.
I am still not receiving any assertion count header.

The sessions config is the following:
        <Sessions lifetime="28800" timeout="3600" relayState="ss:mc"
                  checkAddress="false" handlerSSL="true" cookieProps="https"
                  exportLocation="https://127.0.0.1/Shibboleth.sso/GetAssertion" exportACL="127.0.0.1">

I tried a few different values for exportLocation (docs are extremely high level) but I had no success.

A 3rd party external service needs the assertion to create a one time signing certificate for authenticated users: theirs specs, nothing I can do about.

Thanks

Then your SP is not protecting that resource.

> In addition, I didn’t understand how to retrieve the assertion:

Your application code issues a request to the URL it tells you to use.

Whatever your goal is, rethink it. Anything you're doing with that assertion is likely either unnecessary or flat wrong.
