Overview

TheĀ Issuer type is a PolicyRule which returns true if the name (generally the SAML entityID) of the system issuing the attributes matches a supplied string.

The primary use case for this is proxying when filtering inbound attributes, or in "multi-homing" scenarios in which the IdP may be representing multiple sources of attributes itself under different names.
