Shortcut for releasing attributes requested in metadata

[Wessel, Keith]

Hi, all,

I'm trying to simplify my processes for when I need to manually add an SP to my IdP. I'd like to just add <requestedAttribute> elements to the local SP metadata instead of also needing to add an attribute filter block to attribute-filter.xml. I know I could make an attribute filter policy that applies to every SP in my local metadata set and that lists every attribute in my IdP that I want to allow to be requested in metadata, stating to release it if it was requested.

Is there any shortcut for that? Or is that the only way to do it? I can't think of a way to simply tell the IdP to release any attribute requested in metadata for a given metadata source.

And, for that matter, is there any reason I shouldn't take this route that anyone can think of before I manage to shoot myself in the foot?

Thanks,
Keith
