The Shibboleth IdP V3 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP4 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.
PrincipalNameAttributeDefinition
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 in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
namespace 3.3, the schema for 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 in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad
namespace, the schema for 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 deprecated namespace has an equivalently named (but not necessarily identical) version in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
namespace. The use of the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
namespace also allows a relaxation of the ordering requirements of child elements to reduce strictness.
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.
Example
<AttributeDefinition id="uid" xsi:type="PrincipalName"> <AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1String" name="urn:mace:dir:attribute-def:uid" encodeType="false" /> <AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2String" name="urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1" friendlyName="uid" encodeType="false" /> </AttributeDefinition>
