EduPersonPrincipalName
- Scott Cantor
An identifier attribute defined by the eduPerson specification, it is commonly thought of as the global equivalent of a "netid" or "username" that is typically found in local enterprise authentication systems.
An EduPersonPrincipalName typically resembles an e-mail address, formed by appending a domain "scope" to a locally unique identifier, separated by the @ sign.
Federated applications might rely on EduPersonPrincipalName when controlling access to resources in a finely grained manner or when linking local application accounts or records. Caution should be used, however, because EduPersonPrincipalName values may change or can even be reassigned at times.
