Table 1. RequestSecurityTokenResponseType Properties (vCenter Single Sign-On)
Element Datatype Description
Context string
RequestSecurityTokenResponse attribute specifying a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) that identifies the original request. This attribute is included in the response if it was specified in the request.
TokenType string
Identifies the type of token in the response. TokenType is specified as a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), one of the following:
  • urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion – for issue and renew operations.
  • http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/RSTR/Status – for validation operations.
Lifetime LifetimeType
Time period during which a token is valid. The lifetime in the token response is the actual lifetime assigned by the vCenter Single Sign-On server. The lifetime specifies creation and expiration values.
RequestedSecurityToken RequestedSecurityTokenType
SAML token.
Renewing RenewingType
Indicates whether or not the token can be renewed. By default, the vCenter Single Sign-On server will issue a renewable token.
BinaryExchange BinaryExchangeType

SignatureAlgorithm string
Indicates a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for an algorithm that produces a digital signature for the token. The following list shows the valid values:
  • http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1
  • http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256
  • http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha384
