+3.9 Authenticated Sessions at the RP

3.9 Authenticated Sessions at the RP

The ultimate goal of a federation transaction is to create an authenticated session between the subscriber and the RP that is backed by a verified assertion from the IdP. This authenticated session can be used for allowing the subscriber access to functions at the RP (i.e., logging in), identifying the subscriber to the RP, or processing attributes about the subscriber carried in the federation transaction. An authenticated session SHALL be created by the RP only when the following conditions are true:

The RP has processed and verified a valid assertion.
The assertion is from the expected IdP for a transaction.
The IdP that issued the assertion is the IdP identified in the federated identifier of the assertion.
The assertion is associated with an RP subscriber account, which may be ephemeral.
The RP subscriber account has been provisioned at the RP through the method specified in the trust agreement.

When federation is used as part of an identification process, an RP subscriber account may not be established until other processes have been completed.

If the assertion is a holder-of-key assertion at FAL3, the authenticator indicated in the assertion SHALL be verified before the RP subscriber account is associated with an authenticated session, as discussed in Sec. 3.15. If the assertion also requires authentication with a bound authenticator at FAL3, a bound authenticator SHALL be verified before the RP subscriber account is associated with an authenticated session, as discussed in Sec. 3.16.

The authenticated session MAY be ended by the RP at any time.

See [SP800-63B] Sec. 5 for more information about session management requirements for both IdPs and RPs. For additional session requirements with general purpose IdPs, see Sec. 4.7.
