The SAML 2 string attribute encoder creates SAML 2 <Attribute> elements from resolved attributes with <AttributeValue> elements for each value. The content of these <AttributeValue> elements is a string created by invoking the resolve attribute values Object. toString() method. This encoder is only used for SAML 2 messages and will be ignored when the IdP is answering other protocol messages.

Define the Encoder

Attribute encoders are defined after any dependencies with an in a <resolver:AttributeDefinition> after all <resolver:AttributeDefinition>. The Dependency>.

To define a new SAML 2 string attribute encoders starts with the same <resolver:AttributeEncoder> element as all other encoders and has a type of encoder, create a <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2String" xmlns=". The <resolver:AttributeEncoder> may also have the following the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"> with the following required attributes:

• name - this becomes the NAME Name attribute on the created SAML 1 2 <Attribute> element; this attribute is required

and the following optional attributes:

• nameFormat - this becomes the NameFormat attribute on the created SAML 2 <Attribute> element ; defaults to (default value: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri)
• friendlyName - this becomes the FriendlyName attribute on the created SAML 2 <Attribute> element; this attribute is optional
