XML element in its value rather than just a string. The attribute use
case is itself generally deprecated because SAML 1 itself is a legacy
standard and because the use of the attribute in SAML 2 is redundant.
However, at present there is no replacement mechanism for this use case,
so the deprecation is more centered around the use case than the
planned removal of these features."</div><div><br></div><div>Quick question -- more out of curiosity -- can the 'eduPersonTargetedID' be configured to be sent as a string ---- or always NameID?</div><div><br></div><div>Is there an alternate standard for sending persistent id as string?<br></div></div>
