| Title | Federated Error Handling |
|---|---|
| Description | Develop a systematic approach to error handling at the Service Provider, especially in the common case where there are no (or too few) user attributes in the SAML response. One approach that has been suggested (but is by no means the only approach) is to leverage the Error Handling URL (errorURL) in IdP metadata so that end users are directed to an appropriate service point (e.g., help desk, IdM support, etc.). A possible outcome of this work item might be a simple profile of the errorURL in IdP metadata and a strategy for increasing its usage worldwide. |

| Resource requirements | Profiling the use of errorURL in IdP metadata (if that is indeed a recommended approach) would be relatively easy |
