Yes but I can only find old docs/sample from 1.3

http://bacedifo.blogspot.fr/2009/09/query-shibboleth2-attribute-authority.html
and that long thread back in 2008
https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/arc/shibboleth-users/2008-11/msg00390.html

before going into those old "cookbook" , are these still the recommended 
way to request attributes wihtout login , and is it still supported in 
shib2 and idpv3 ?
I see now the "ECP" profile 
(https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/CONCEPT/ECP) , would you 
advise me to go into that direction instead ?

you mean http://saml.xml.org/saml-specifications , that's quite long ... 
can you just point me to one of  "core", "profile" or "binding" !?

Thanks .
