<div dir="ltr">Hi again,<div><br></div><div>Kevin-I was able to accomplish what I wanted with the EPPN attribute you mentioned (thanks). I was able to use that attribute to set the e-mail field for Gitlab accounts so that I can test if indeed my shibboleth configuration for Gitlab was working. So in my case, the mail attribute is not necessary anymore.</div><div><br></div><div>Nate-I would still like to look into connecting the Shibboleth SP with a local LDAP service in order to get more attributes than what the Shibboleth Idp gives me. I think being able to do this will help in the future for me because I hope to have my Shibboleth SP talking to the university's Shibboleth Idp. I will not have much control on what attributes can be given to me for the users because I do not manage the university's Shibboleth Idp. So having a local LDAP instance that my Shibboleth SP can use to get more attributes for the users would really help me with authorization . </div><div><br></div><div>By any chance do you guys know of instructions/tutorials that I can use to help me get this set up. LIke I mentioned before, all of the instructions/tutorials I have found online involved configuring a Shibboleth Idp with LDAP, not a Shibboleth SP.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you both for your help. I really appreciate it!</div><div><br></div><div>-Antelmo</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 8:55 PM, Nate Klingenstein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ndk@internet2.edu" target="_blank">ndk@internet2.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</span><div>It probably doesn’t. I’d just check the directory first, but I don’t think user entries were ever in the same path.</div>

<div>The other historical reason was that we didn’t want people to use email as an identifier. "Mission accomplished" and “sorry", I guess.</div><span class="">

</span><div>It does. Today, I’d actually be in favor of releasing both so that we could highlight a difference, if you’d like to insert some random
<a href="mailto:name@example.foo" target="_blank">name@example.foo</a> into the directory. There should be nothing personally identifying left, but this would be a way to make sure of that...</div><span class="">

<div>Indeed, and this will work immediately. I definitely don’t want to scare anyone else from this approach, as it will give you the most flexibility in the long run.</div>
