This page provides a description and examples of the key attributes that are needed to support and enforce appropriate access to CCC-wide services and cloud services. These are the attributes which need to be supported by college/district Identity Providers, and released to various services including the CCC IdP Proxy.

Simple Name and the SAMLv2 name when sent in the SAMLv2 response

Short descriptionSample value(s)Description

eduPersonPrincipalName (EPPN)


urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6

Primary federated identifier of a given user from a college/district IdP.

jsmith@college.edu

12345678@college.edu 


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
  • staff
  • student
  • member
  • employee
  • faculty
  • affiliate

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
  • staff
  • student
  • faculty

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

UsernamejsmithThis 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.

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.
