</div>If they want to be strict about it, that's fine. Add it to your metadata.<br>
Problem solved.<br>

<br>
</div>There's nothing to configure. The SP doesn't care what the NameID is. You<br>
decide what to extract out of assertions and if you want to extract the<br>
NameID, you can do that. You would not do that with a transient generally.<br>

<br>
</div>None of that has anything to do with it. It isn't configured to do<br>
anything by default but populate headers with certain types of<br>
information. Those are defaults only and mean nothing to the SP in<br>
particular.<br>
