Syntax

Delegations in this space are of the following form:

urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:nl:<scope>:*

where

<scope> identifies the scope for the identifier. Currently, only local is allowed, which specifies that the identifier is meant for use within a specific institution only.

For the local scope, the urn is of the following form:

urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:nl:local:<organisation_id>:<id_type>:<id_token>

where

<organisation_id> identifies the organisation which has issues the specified identifier. The format is a domain name as specified in RFC 1035. For use in SURFconext, this identifier MUST be equal to the organisation's schacHomeOrganization.
<id_type> identifies the type of the identifier. The following values are allowed:
- empoyeeid: the following id_token specifies an employee of the organisation
- studentid: the following id_token specifies a student of the organisation
- memberid: the following id_token specifies a person with some kind of generic membership of the organisation. This could be used by organisations which use a common identifier for employees and students.
<id_token> is the internal identifier of the specified type, issued by the specified organisation. Note that the identifier should be a proper URN, so the <id_token> may only consist of the characters specified in section 2.2 of RFC2141, i.e. only the following are allowed:
- lower case letter (a-z)
- capital letters (A-Z)
- numbers (0-9)
- the following special characters: ( ) + , . = @ ; $ _ ! * ' -
