No I understood the purpose of the role, I still have a problem with the "meta role" restriction, I don't understand why the restriction.

Anothny -
I think you may have misunderstood my message. The concept of a "role" in this case is really that of a "participant". I.e., we are talking about the role that a SAML participant would take in communicating with another "participant". May be "participant" is also not a good name; may be we should call it a "meta role". In any case, this is specifcally NOT an arbitrary role that can be specified in an attribute assertion.

Why is this restricted to any role this seems like an artifact of Liberty ? These should just be attribute assertions that any role can use.

Subject: [security-services] Roles for SAML 2.0 Metadata
Colleagues -
During our focus group discussion of today (December 16), we recognized the
need for specifying metadata for various roles. Our discussion lead us to
believe that SAML 2.0 metadata should recognize the following roles:
1. Identity provider
2. Service provider
3. Attribute provider
Do people have any thoughts/comments on this matter?
Thanks,
Jahan
