Hi Manfred,

This is an area of interest to us and we have done some profiling in our implementation.

Generally speaking, we work with the assertion profiles as a starting point. They allow for WS-Trust like token exchanges and (implicitly) support ActAs or OnBehalfOf. But they do need additional profiling
to offer genuine interoperability in this area.

What use-cases do you have in mind? I am not sure I follow what you mean by "a resource server could delegate a subset of the delegated rights to another resource server".

Hi,

are there plans for supporting delegation-styles like ActAs or OnBehalfOf in SAML?

If this was possible, a resource server could delegate a subset of the delegated rights to another resource server. This could be a very important thing, when one wants to use OAuth 2 within an enterprise-environment.

I know, that OAuth 2 has been created for web-scenarios, but it's a fact that OAuth 2 is used as a "REST-friedly" alternative to WS-* in the area of service-security.

Would it be the right way, to define an Extension Grants for such a scenario?

Wishes,

Manfred
