Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd
The SAML2String attribute encoder encodes a string-valued IdPAttribute as a SAML 2 Attribute. This is the most common encoder used with SAML 2.

Attributes
Common Attributes
| 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. | |
| relyingParties | whitespace-delimited list | List of entity IDs for which this Attribute Encoder should be active. |
