Overview

A filter of type NameIDFormat adds SAML <md:NameIDFormat> elements to metadata in order to drive software behavior (primarily Name Identifier format selection).

Sequences of string-valued <Format> elements are supplied as filter content. When a child element such as <Entity> or <ConditionRef> or <ConditionScript> evaluates to true, the formats are applied to all the recognized format-supporting roles of the corresponding entities. The filter does not have the capability to limit the roles to which formats will be attached.
