Shibboleth / Setup SP Attribute Release

This page documents how to setup an IdP to release attributes to an SP via its entityID.

1. Check out the conf directory from the shib-svn repository.

   john@fearless:~/Junk$ svn co svn+ssh://sxjpm@iron.alaska.edu/usr/local/iam/shib-svn/idp/trunk/conf
   A    conf/service.xml
   ...
   A    conf/login.config
   

2. Add a stanza in the attribute-filter.xml config file that releases an attribute to the SP via its entityID.

   john@fearless:~/Junk$ vi conf/attribute-filter.xml
   ...
   <AttributeFilterPolicy id="releaseToIAM">
       <PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="basic:AttributeRequesterString" value="https://idmt-1.alaska.edu/shibboleth" />
       <AttributeRule attributeID="eduPersonPrincipalName">
           <PermitValueRule xsi:type="basic:ANY" />
       </AttributeRule>
   </AttributeFilterPolicy>
   ...
   :wq!
   

3. Commit the the changed attribute-filter.xml file into the shib-svn repository.

   john@fearless:~/Junk$ svn commit conf/ -m "Added attribute filter config for SP idmt-1"
   

4. Test and update the Shibboleth IdPs with the following procedure.
