## Steps

1. In the **WS-Trust Version** list, select version **1.2** or **1.3**.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

   |   | For version 1.3, the response is always a `RequestSecurityTokenResponseCollection` object as in the following example.```
