Hi,

I have new SP that I am trying to connect to and  
It required signed assertion and response.  
The signResponse remove the assertion signing.  
How to overcome the assertion sign removals ?

Hey @teich01

By default we return the assertion signed in saml responses except when “signResponse”  
option is used for the SAML (addon) configuration. If that is supplied then only the saml response is signed.  
We don’t support both SAML assertion and response as signed simultaneously as of now when Auth0 is the IDP.
