SAML2StringEncoder Name for RelationalDatbase Attribute

Tue Mar 15 16:58:32 EDT 2016

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure shibboleth to pull attributes from a MySQL database. How do I figure out what the name is for the attribute encoder for a MySQL column name? LDAP attributes have an OID which is usually something along the lines of  2.5.4.4, which would translate to the following AttributeEncoder:

<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="enc:SAML2String" name="urn:oid:2.5.4.4" friendlyName="sn" encodeType="false" />

As far as I can tell (and I may be wrong), MySQL doesn't haven an OID for each attribute. What should I put in the name section for the AttributeEncoder element of some attribute that I get out of a MySQL table?

Thanks,

   David N.
