Description

In SAML token scenario the 'NameIdentifier' tag in the saml assertion has an attribute 'Format' which has a wrong value. Currently it is:
<NameIdentifier Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress">CN=client</NameIdentifier>
Since 'NameIdentifier' contains the value of the SubjectName from the X509 certificate, the correct form should be:
<NameIdentifier Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:X509SubjectName">CN=client</NameIdentifier>

For more information see SAML 1.1 specifications paragraph 7.3. It can be found here: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3406/oasis-sstc-saml-core-1.1.pdf
