The VMware Security Token Service is the component responsible for issuing SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) tokens within the VMware Single Sign-On architecture. SAML tokens are used for authentication and providing secure access to resources across different services. The Security Token Service acts as a trusted entity that validates user identities and generates the corresponding tokens needed for authentication in a federated identity solution.

The Administration Server's primary role is in managing and configuring the SSO environment, whereas the VMware Directory Service provides directory-related functionalities like user and group management. The Identity Management Service is focused on facilitating user identity information but does not issue tokens itself. Therefore, the Security Token Service's specific function of generating SAML tokens distinguishes it as the correct choice.
