Overview

...

Sequences of string-valued <Format> elements are supplied as filter content. When a child element such as <Entity> or <ConditionRef> or <ConditionScript> evaluates to true, the formats are applied to all the recognized format-supporting roles of the corresponding entities. The filter does not have the capability to limit the roles to which formats will be attached.

Note

Filter order is important!

This filter changes the content of the metadata and so a filter of type NameIDFormat should appear after any SignatureValidationFilter in the overall MetadataProvider.

Tip

Position the NameIDFormat filter for efficiency

...

Deliberately position a NameIDFormat filter in the overall sequence of filters for optimal efficiency. In particular, a filter of type NameIDFormat should appear after the EntityRoleFilter since the latter effectively removes entities from the input.
