No there is no such method. But why are you storing the saml token as an
axiom_node within the rampart_context? Cant't you keep the information
related to saml_token as a basic type or a user defined type. So that
inside rampart you can build the saml node using this information in
rampart_context. So for the next request you can alter those information
as you wish and rampart will build the saml node accoarding to the new
information.

IMHO duplicating a node make no sense. Because a node always attached to
a om_tree. We are keeping shallow copies to the nodes in the tree.

If you are not using a policy file that means those options are need to
be set by the user. This is useful when rampart is used from other
extensions like PHP. But for timeout there is a default value. But other
information are user specific so you need to set them using the set
functions in rampart_context.

Thats ok. Please send the patches.

Thanks.
