| Simple Name and the SAMLv2 name when sent in the SAMLv2 response | Short description | Sample value(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
eduPersonPrincipalName (EPPN) urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6 | The primary Primary federated identifier of a given user from a college/district IdP. |
| EPPN has the syntax of an email address, but it really is a "globally unique federated identifier", not an email address. It is generally the most important attribute to be shared with federated services. See the above for a much longer description of this critical attribute. |
eduPersonAffiliation
urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.1 | Role within the institution |
| All of the roles a given person has within the college, but only the values defined in the eduPerson schema are allowed for this attribute, you can't make up "new values" for it. The affiliate value identifies a person that has applied to one or more colleges but is not a student yet. This is the only attribute listed here that is intended to have multiple values. All the rest are expected to have a single value. |
eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation
urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.5 | Primary role at the institution |
| Must be one of the values specified in eduPersonAffilliation. If the eduPersonAffiliation attribute has many values, the primary affiliation should reflect the role to be associated with services that differentiate based on this value (such as the CCC Portal). For example, if the user is both a staff member and a student, and the primary affiliation is staff, the portal experience will be geared towards a staff member. |
uid urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 | Username | jsmith | This is usually the value that the user fills in as their username when they login. If you are using AD, the usual attribute you want to use to populate uid is the sAMAccountName attribute. |
givenName urn:oid:2.5.4.42 | First Name | Jane | |
sn (surname) urn:oid:2.5.4.4 | Last Name | Smith | |
displayName urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.241 | Full name to display | Jane Smith | |
mail (email) urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3 | Email Address | jane.smith@college.edu | |
cccId
| The CCCID | The CCCID is a critical attribute for students. If not specified, but required for a portal or service action, the CCCID will be looked up via the EPPN. If no match is found, the action cannot be performed until the user creates a CCCID via the OpenCCC portlet. |
