Which variable determines an active current shibboleth session?

OK. Thanks.

One last question. If I want a unique session ID for each authenticated user I would use Shib-Session-ID, which will also be present for each valid Shibboleth session, correct? Sorry, I know that that sounds like an obvious question but I want to make sure. I am finished with this project the day after tomorrow and won't be around to answer their questions (or post on this forum after that).

There are a few along with it that are always set right now, but the
documentation sticks with that as the baseline and as a guarantee for
future versions, so that is what I'd go with.
