Totally agree! Without both, SAML wouldn't function.

The SP sends assertions, and the IDP validates them. That's how SAML rolls!

From what I recall, the IDP validates the assertions, but I’m not confident about the exact process.

I feel like I might be mixing up the roles of IDP and SP. Does the SP really send assertions, or is it the other way around?

I remember practicing a question about SAML where the IDP issued tokens to the SP. I think that’s related to this.

I think the IDP is responsible for authenticating users, but I'm not entirely sure how the SP fits into that.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know RSTP has something to do with selecting a root bridge, but I can't quite remember the exact criteria. I'll have to think this through carefully.
