The IdP does not write to LDAP DSAs generally, so whatever put that
"eduPersonTargetedID" attribute into your LDAP DIB is to blame.
More importantly, the "computed" ePTId generator generates those IDs
dynamically when creating SAML protocol messages. It does not store
them (contrary to the StoredId one),
