Guidance

It isn't too common to need any of these options, and they should be changed only with care.

The additionalAuduencesForAssertion and includeConditionsNotBefore settings provide ways to work around bugs in other systems. You should never use these settings without obtaining a commitment from the other system's owner to fix their bugs.

The assertionLifetime setting does not involve control over the session with the relying party, it's only relevant in delegation scenarios.

The signResponses default varies by profile, see the notes on the individual profile pages.
