etc. For SAML purposes, those attributes need to be identified by an OID.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The eduPerson list is not set in concrete. If you believe there is a value missing from the list that would have wide inter-institutional use and adoption, please let me know. I would share it with the MACE-Dir group for consideration.
