IdPv3 - eduPersonTargetedID - How to define and release this attribute?

If you're trying to use eduPersonTargetedID as an attribute, the first steps are to question why, push back, and not to do it.

If you do need to do that for some legacy application that can't support persistent NameIDs or is SAML 1 only, then the only way to do it is to configure it the same way as it would have been in V2, using the resolver, and not with the documentation you're looking at. The ability is deprecated but removing it would be akin to removing SAML 1 support, not something that's going to happen any time soon.
