Understanding Identity Assertion with the Identity and Identity-Info Headers
Converged Application Server can also perform identity assertion using the
Identity
and Identity-Info
headers, as described
in RFC 4474. As with the p-asserted-identity
assertion mechanism,
Identity
header assertion requires that you first configure the
appropriate security provider (the IdentityHeaderAsserter
provider) in
Converged Application Server.
When asserting the identity of inbound requests having the
Identity
and Identity-Info
headers, Converged
Application Server considers the values of the identity-assertion
and
identity-assertion-support
elements in sip.xml
as
well as the presence of a configured security provider.
