5. Attribute Bundle
The R&S attribute bundle consists of the following attributes:
...
An Identity Provider that supports R&S releases at least the refedsNonPrivateUserID attribute. Other Identity Providers may release any persistent, non-reassigned user identifier, including refedsPrivateUserID (i.e., eduPersonTargetedID) but this is out of scope with respect to this specification.
Example 5. The R&S Service Provider requests refedsEmailAddress in metadata.
An Identity Provider that supports R&S releases the refedsEmailAddress attribute.
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Registrars should discourage R&S Service Providers from relying on an email address as a user identifier. |
