Considerations for SAML Identity Providers for use with services registered with other Identity Federations via Interfederation arrangements (such as eduGAIN).
Metadata
IDPs in eduID.at can always load SAML Metadata that also includes entities known via Interfederation agreements, such as eduGAIN:
As always, use the provided Metadata Verification Key to make sure the metadata is authentic and hasn't been tempered with.
Make attributes available
Adjust the IDP configuration to lookup and/or generate potentially missing attributes. All eduID.at-registered IDPs should be able to produce the following attributes:
- Name attributes
- displayName
- givenName
- sn
- Identifiers
- eduPersonTargetedId (a.k.a. SAML2 persistent NameID)
- eduPersonPrincipalName
- Authorization
- eduPersonScopedAffiliation
- eduPersonEntitlement
- Organizational data
- schacHomeOrganization
- schacHomeOrganizationType
Attribute release
Adjust the IDP configuration to scalably release selected attributes to appropriate SPs.
