+* **Want Authentication Request Signed**: By default, LemonLDAP::NG requires all SAML Requests to be signed. Set it to "Off" to let each Service Provider metadata decide if their requests should be verified by LemonLDAP::NG or not.

-    This option can then be overridden for each Service

+.. warning::

+   This setting requires Lasso 2.6.1 to be effective. Older versions behave as if this setting was set to "Off"
