Tracing edupersontargetedid to usernames

[Morris, Andi]

Thanks for the information all.

I'm not sure that I'm getting the right information back from the Service Provider in this instance. They have given me a character string, ending in my domain, but it doesn't appear to be of any use at all. I'm waiting for more information from them.

Cheers,
Andi

Well, if you really wanted to know that from ePTID you could always hash all your userids and look for the matching one.
You'd have to look at the code though for the exact algorithm used by the ComputedID data connector.
