The UK federation's "Technical Recommendations for Participants"
recommends IdPs support eduPersonTargetedID as one of the core
attributes. You can find a list of Services in the UK federation that
request this attribute at
http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/AvailableServices?action=search&q=eduPersonTargetedID

The UK federation's website documentation for setting up a v2 IdP
includes a snippet for attribute-filter.xml which releases this
attribute to all SPs (at
http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/Setup2IdP#attribute-filter.xml).
That should work in a v3 IdP if you ensure the namespace prefix afp: is
defined appropriately.

Assuming you already have configured whatever DataConnector the
ComputedID DataConnector depends on, you should be able to copy in the
AttributeDefinitions and the ComputedID DataConnector from your IdP's
existing attribute-resolver.xml. There are also snippets for this at
http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/Setup2IdP#attribute-resolver.xml
