Description

The unique code for a person that is used as the login name within the institution.

Notes

  • The uid is not a unique identifier for SURFconext users.  Uid values are at most unique for each IdP.
  • Ideally the uid is not only a login name/code but also an identifier that is guaranteed as being unique within the institution over the course of time. At the moment, there is no such guarantee.
  • Use the NameId for unique identifiers in SURFconext rather than uid.
  • Use the eduPersonPrincipalName attribute if a human-readable unique identifier is required
  • A uid may contain any unicode character. E.g., "org:surfnet.nl:joe von stühl" is a valid uid.
  • SURFconext translates @-characters in the uid to underscores.  Yes, this means that uids are not guaranteed to be unique.

Description

a two-letter abbreviation for the preferred language according to the ISO 639 language abbreviation code table; no subcodes.

Notes

Used to indicate an individual's preferred written or spoken language. This is useful for international correspondence or human-computer interaction. Values for this attribute type MUST conform to the definition of the Accept-Language header field defined in RFC 2068 with one exception: ?the value ":" should be omitted. 

EduPersonTargetedID

Multiplicity

Description 

The attribute eduPersonTargetedID is a copy of the Subject -> NameID which is generated by SURFconext itself. When an Identity Provider provides the eduPersonTargetedID itself, it is always overwritten by SURFconext.

Notes 

This attribute is created because the Subject -> NameID itself is not part of the SAML v2.0 response and therefore can not be used. Within SURFconext the Subject -> NameID is explicitly placed in the attribute eduPersonTargetedID, so that you can use it.
