Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd

The SAML2String attribute encoder encodes a string-valued IdPAttribute as a SAML 2 Attribute. This is the most common encoder used with SAML 2.

Reference

Attributes

Common Attributes

NameTypeDefaultDescription
encodeTypebooleantrueControls whether the output form will contain an encoder-specific indication of the data type of the values. In XML, this takes the form of xsi:type attributes, which greatly bloat the size and generally should be avoided for string-valued data. The default is to continue to output the information, but we suggest disabling it in newer deployments and after testing against existing services.
activationConditionRefBean Reference

Bean ID of a condition bean that determines whether the encoder should be active, described further here.
Mutually exclusive with relyingParties attribute and <ActivationConditionScript> element
