String(resolutionContext.getAttributeRecipientID()) returns null

[Rhian Resnick]

Andrew and Scott,


Thank you for the sample code and pointers. Turns out we were lookup the entityId incorrectly and your sample code pointed us in the correct direction.


The following line correctly and reliably returns the entityId of the relaying party and resolves our issue.


        peerEntityId = profileContext.getSubcontext("net.shibboleth.idp.profile.context.RelyingPartyContext").getRelyingPartyId();

Thanks

Generally input.getSubcontext("net.shibboleth.idp.profile.context.RelyingPartyContext").getRelyingPartyId()

The value is populated by the IdP when it runs the resolver. You are running the resolver, ergo you have to populate it. Look at the script example; you're creating the context in the first place. A fresh one is empty. Even the principal name has to be supplied to it.
