1 Reference

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.

Name	Type	Req?	Default	Description

Name	Type	Req?	Default	Description
name	string	Y		Value to put into the `Name` attribute of the output `<AttributeValue>` elements
nameFormat	string		urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri	Value to put into the `NameFormat` attribute of the output `<AttributeValue>` elements
friendlyName	string		The enclosing attribute's ID	Value to put into the `FriendlyName` attribute of the output `<AttributeValue>` elements

Name	Type	Default	Description
encodeType	boolean	true	Controls whether the output form will contain an encoder-specific indication of the data type of the values. In XML, this takes the form of `xsi:type` attributes, which greatly bloat the size and generally should be avoided for string-valued data. The default is to continue to output the information, but we suggest disabling it in newer deployments and after testing against existing services.
activationConditionRef	Bean Reference		Bean ID of a condition bean that determines whether the encoder should be active, described further here. Mutually exclusive with `relyingParties` attribute and `<ActivationConditionScript>` element
relyingParties	whitespace-delimited list		List of entity IDs for which this Attribute Encoder should be active. Mutually exclusive with `activationConditionRef` attribute and `<ActivationConditionScript>` element

Name	Cardinality	Description

Name	Cardinality	Description
<ActivationConditionScript>	0 or 1	Optional embedded script to supply an activation condition for the encoder. Mutually exclusive with the activationConditionRef and relyingParties XML Attributes.
