edupersonAffiliation attribute fields

[Morris, Andi]

Hi all,
Just a quick one and hopefully an easy one for the more experienced Shibboleth admins than myself.  Currently we assign edupersonaffiliation attributes dependent on AD Organisational Unit name, but I've been requested to split these users up further to separate affiliate members, and UK Affiliate members to allow differing access to resources.

I could just tag one of them 'employee' or similar, but I don't want to start assigning these fields to arbitrarily in case we start using Shibboleth more extensively in the future and require these attributes to be used elsewhere.

Is there scope for adding more edupersonaffiliation attributes than the standard?

  *   member
  *   student
  *   employee
  *   faculty
  *   staff
  *   alum
  *   affiliate
Cheers,
Andi
