Attribute definition type for eduPersonTargetedID?

[Wessel, Keith]

Hi, all,

Our IdP still has SPs that need eduPersonTargetedID as an attribute. I've been lazy until now and left it defined in my attribute resolver with xsi:type="Xaml2NameID" even though the name ID portion is now handled by the saml-nameid service in the IdP. Starting in 4.1, I see deprecation warnings for that attribute definition type. I tried changing the attribute definition type to Simple, but the IdP told me that type wasn't compatible with the XML2 object encoding, and it didn't release a value.

If we still have to support eptid as an attribute, what should the attribute definition look like? What attribute definition type and encoder type should we use? I see no examples of this in the included sample configuration files or on the wiki, and I'm sure that's for lots of very good reasons.

Thanks,
Keith
