The SAML 1 scoped string attribute encoder creates SAML 1 <Attribute>
elements from resolved scoped attributes with <AttributeValue>
elements for each value. The content of these <AttributeValue>
elements is a string and the scope value of the containing <AttributeDefinition>
. The method of combining this scope value is configurable. This encoder is only used for SAML 1 messages and will be ignored when the IdP is answering other protocol messages.
This encoder will convert the values of the attribute it is attached into strings by means of the Object.toString() method. |
Attribute encoders are defined in a <resolver:AttributeDefinition>
after all <resolver:Dependency>
.
To define a new SAML 1 scoped string attribute encoder, create a <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1ScopedString" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder">
with the following required attributes:
AttributeName
attribute on the created SAML 1 <Attribute>
element.and the following optional attributes:
AttributeNamespace
attribute on the created SAML 1 <Attribute>
element. Defaults to urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:attributeNamespace:uri
.inline
(<AttributeValue>member@example.org</AttributeValue>
) and attribute
(<AttributeValue Scope="example.org">member</AttributeValue>
). Defaults to attribute
for backward compatibility with Shibboleth 1.x, but inline
is likely to be more globally compatible.scopeType
value of attribute
, defines the name of the attribute which will be added to the created SAML 1 <AttributeValue>
to convey the scope value. Defaults to Scope
for compatibility with Shibboleth 1.x.scopeType
value of inline
, defines the string used to separate the attribute value from the scope value. Defaults to @.<resolver:AttributeDefinition id="UNIQUE_ID" xsi:type="ad:Scoped"> <resolver:Dependency ref="DEFINITION_ID_1" /> <resolver:Dependency ref="CONNECTOR_ID_1" /> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1ScopedString" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="ATTRIBUTE_NAME_1" /> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1ScopedString" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="ATTRIBUTE_NAME_2" namespace="ATTRIBUTE_NAMESPACE" scopeType="attribute" scopeAttribute="ATTRIBUTE_SCOPE_ATTRIBUTE_NAME" /> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1ScopedString" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="ATTRIBUTE_NAME_3" namespace="ATTRIBUTE_NAMESPACE" scopeType="inline" scopeDelimiter="ATTRIBUTE_SCOPE_DELIMITER" /> </resolver:AttributeDefinition> |
Defining more than one attribute encoder allows a deployer to transform a single attribute into multiple |
