The PrincipalName
attribute definition exposes the subject's canonicalized principal name as a single-valued IdPAttribute.
Schema Name and Location
This xsi:type
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.
Attributes
Any of the common attributes can be specified. Note that this attribute definition does not require a sourceAttributeID attribute since the information is not resolved from an input attribute. If one is supplied, it is ignored.
Child Elements
Any of the common child elements can be specified. Note that this attribute definition does not require a <Dependency>
child element since the information is not resolved from an input attribute. If any are supplied, then they are ignored.
