Issue/Introduction

Is there a way we can modify the ns1 and ns2 namespace tags in the SAML assertion? 

Environment

Policy Server: 12.8.5 and above

Resolution

No, these assertion namespace tags are not configurable out of the box.  These tags can be altered by implementing a custom Assertion Generator Plugin (AGP).  AGPs are created using the Single Sign On Federation SDK which contains a sample AGP from which one can build and customize.
