The <NameIDMgmt>
element is used to enable and configure support for Name Identifier Management protocols within the SP. It is rarely used, but replaces the functions of the <md:ManageNameIDService>
handler elements from the older (pre-2.4) configuration.
Instead of defining explicit endpoints with low-level binding information, the <NameIDMgmt>
element automates the installation of the appropriate handlers based on the protocols selected for activation.
A basic example supporting SAML 2.0:
<NameIDMgmt>SAML2</NameIDMgmt> |
The content of the element is a whitespace-delimited list of "protocol" identifiers. The following are built-in to the SP:
Other protocols can be "integrated" with the service-based configuration mechanism by supplying the relevant information via the <ProtocolProvider>
plugin interface.
