Note

This simple configuration generates samlPairwiseID attribute values dynamically based on the configured input attribute on each login, and without any way to manually influence or override this in selected cases. So if the configured (or fabricated) internal identifier you derive those attribute values from should ever change for a given person so will all her samlPairwiseID attribute values for the services that receive them.

Using a more complex configuration with StoredID instead of ComputedID data connectors and a StorageService it is possible to override or map chosen input attributes to previously generated output attributes. That would allow to keep the generated and released identifiers (samlPairwiseID attribute values) the same even in cases where the internal identifier did change for some reason, with a manual change in the database the generated values are persisted to. But having that corrective capability probably only makes sense if you reliably get notified about cases where the underlying internal identifer (that should never be reassigend from one person to another) actually has been reassigned. Contact us if you'd prefer to configure a storage service with persistent attribute values so that we can provide additional pointers for that. (E.g. an embedded H2 database does not create an external dependency on a database server.)

European Student Identifier ESI

All Higher Education Institutions will also want to make available the European Student Identifier according to our documentation.

eduID.at members having also signed the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) will find that this is a requirement as per August 2021.
