parse_assertion Method

Parses the specified assertion.

Syntax

def parse_assertion(assertion: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method parses the assertion specified by the assertion parameter. If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in signer_cert to verify the signature. If signer_cert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

• assertion_id
• assertion_issue_instant
• assertion_issuer
• assertion_not_before
• assertion_not_on_or_after
• assertion_subject
• assertion_version
• assertion_xml
• Claim* properties
