Data typeUTF8 String of the form affiliation@domain (see below)
Description

Indicates the relationship between the user and the domain of his home organization. The affiliation part must be one of the allowed values of the eduPersonAffiliation attribute (see definition right above).

The value is the role of the user and the domain name of the organisation. eduPersonScopedAffiliation can hence be defined as: <eduPersonAffiliation> "@" <schacHomeOrganization>. Just like eduPersonScopedAffiliation, this is a multi valued attribute.

The domain part must be the schacHomeOrganization of the user (or a subdomain thereof). 

Examplesstudent@uniharderwijk.nl
faculty@uniharderwijk.nl
Notes
  • This attribute is primarily a different way to convey the same information as is contained in eduPersonAffiliation and schacHomeOrganization. It's recommended to release this attribute next to eduPersonAffiliation and schacHomeOrganization, because some SP's ask for this attribute instead of the two separate ones.
  • If desired, this attribute can be used to describe the role of the user within a specific faculty, field, study or department that the user is part of. Because the attribute is multi-valued, a user can be a student at one and an employee at another department.

Multiplicity

single-valued

Data typeUTF8 string (unbounded)

Description 

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

Examplesbd09168cf0c2e675b2def0ade6f50b7d4bb4aae

Notes 

This attribute is created because the Subject -> NameID itself is not part of the SAML v2.0 response and therefore only is available for an application if the local SAML implementation explicitly supports this. Within SURFconext the Subject -> NameID is explicitly copied into the eduPersonTargetedID attribute, in order for the identifier to be used like any other attribute, but only when NameID is configured to be persistent (as the eduPerson definition of eduPersonTargetedID requires it to be persistent)

Data type

URL, registered with ORCID.org

Description 

The ORCID is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes the account holder from every other researcher. Through integration in research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, the ORCID identifier supports automated linkages between the account holder and his/her professional activities ensuring that the account holder's work is recognized. Values MUST be valid ORCID identifiers in the ORCID preferred URL representation, i.e. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097

Examples

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097

Although the attribute is in theory multi-valued, in practice it probably makes sense that it has no more than one value.
