The service provider, wishing to know the identity of the user, issues an authentication request to a SAML identity provider through the user agent.
At the heart of the SAML assertion is a subject (a principal within the context of a particular security domain) about which something is being asserted. The subject is usually (but not necessarily) a human. As in the SAML 2.0 Technical Overview, [4] the terms subject and principal are used interchangeably in this document.

Assuming the <samlp:AuthnRequest> element issued by the service provider does not request otherwise, a metadata-aware IdP will consult the <md:NameIDFormat> elements in metadata (if any) to determine the NameID format.

However a closer examination reveals that this is not the ...
