• The eduPersonUniqueID attribute suffers from a case folding issue (due to allowing use of both upper and lower case characters) that may lead to identifier collisions at Service Providers not treating identifiers case-insensitively. Consider this an informal Security Advisory against any use of this attribute.
• Also note that newer versions of saml2int – which is a formal part of the eduID.at policy via the Technical Profile – go – go much farther and states state that:

SPs MAY support legacy or historical <saml:NameID> and <saml:Attribute> identifier content for compatibility reasons but MUST NOT require their use.
