SAML2DateTimeEncoder

Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd

The SAML2DateTime attribute encoder encodes a date/time-valued IdPAttribute as a SAML 2 Attribute. Date/time values are represented internally as a Java Instant, which is the simplest/least ambiguous way to represent a point in time.

XML defines a textual representation of date/time information in ISO format, and SAML requires all such values to be in UTC to avoid time zone confusion. This encoder automatically encodes the values in that format.
