Description

The ActAs element allows a client to request a token that grants the client the ability to act as or on the behalf of a third-party. This element is useful when trying to secure requests flowing through a WS intermediary. The STS client should allow users to supply a DOM tree or a String representing the XML content to be inserted into the STS issue request. An accompanying SecurityConstants value allows the user to specify the content statically in a configuration file or to insert it into the request context at runtime.
