Hello
Stephen,
Last
time I looked, the default resolver.xml file shipped with the Shibboleth IdP
software contained a (commented out) skeleton for a
PersistentIDAttributeDefinition, which is pretty much as described at the link
you quoted. It is commented as deprecated, although it is still the
recommended method for the UK federation, as discussed in section 7.1.3
of:
(and
the documents referenced there). SPs within the UK federation are
recommended (in 7.1.3.2) to support the newer form with the OID-based attribute
name as well as the old form. The newer form is described in
the Shib wiki, at:
I
expect the version of the IdP software you have still supports the older form as
well though if you try it.

I've seen this attribute mentioned
on the uk fed site at:
, but cannot seem to find anymore information
about it - not even in the Sibboleth Wiki. Can anyone point in the direction
of any documentation which exists about this attribute? I am testing with
version 1.3.2 of the IdP software. Should PersistentIDAttributeDefinition be
supported in this version?
regards,
Stephen
