Limitations of the SAML implementation

Limitations of the SAML implementation are described. These limitations refer to functions that are currently implemented and supported by WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 and later.

• The WSTrustClient API supports issue and validate operations, but does not support the cancel and renew operations.

• WebSphere Application Server with SAML does not support propagating a SAML token in the response message from a web services provider to a web services client.
