Syntax

Delegations in this space are of the following form:

• urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:int:esi:<organisation_id>:<id_token>

where

• <organisation_id> identifies the organisation which has issued 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_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: ( ) + , . = @ ; $ _ ! * ' -
