The Simple
attribute definition copies an input attribute to an output attribute. Typically this is used to 'expose' attributes which are sourced from a DataConnector, turning them from internal data into "real" attribute objects.
Configuring this definition typically requires setting the sourceAttributeID
attribute, adding a <Dependency>
element, and adding one or more <AttributeEncoder>
elements.
Schema Name and Location
This element is defined by the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
schema 3.3, which is located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd.
Prior to V3.3 supplied plugins were defined by a schema type (xsi:type) in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad schema, which is located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver-ad.xsd. This is still supported, but every element or type in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad schema
has an equivalently named (but not necessarily identical) version in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver schema. The use of the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
schema also allows a relaxation of the ordering requirements of sub elements and so a more natural order can be applied. Note that versions earlier than 3.3 are no longer supported and you should look to upgrade at the soonest opportunity.
