Entree Federation: Overview attributes for Identity Providers

To authenticate and subsequently authorize a user the Entree Federation uses attributes. These attributes contain information (for example a firstname) about the user who wants access to a connected Service Provider.
There are two types of attributes used within the context of Entree Federation:

Default attributes
Additional attributes

For most Service Providers the set with default attributes will suffice to authenticate and authorize users. However there are situations in which a Service Provider requires more information about a user. In this case one or more additional attributes can be used.

In order to enable the users to gain access to all connected Service Providers an Identity Provider has to support both the default attributes and the additional attributes.

Default attributes

In this table you can find the attributes that an Identity Provider always has to pass on to Entree Federation.

Attributename	Description	Format	Example
uid	Unique ID for the user, consisting of a username and a realm ¹	userId@realm	pietjepukkelen@petteflatcollege
employeeNumber	Studentnumber	string	140136
givenName	First name	string	Pietje
sn	Surname	string	Pukkelen
eduPersonAffiliation	Role	student, employee, staff or affiliate	student
nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId	BRIN code of the institution	4 or 6 characters	11ZZ03
nlEduPersonHomeOrganization	Name of the institution	string	Petteflat College

¹ Attention: When using the SAML protocol the value of uid attribute has to be the same as the value of the <saml:NameID> field.

Additional attributes

These attributes will only passed on to a Service Provider after the school has given explicit permission by signing an Attribute Release Policy form.

Attributename	Description	Format	Example
nlEduPersonProfileId	ECK attribute If a school has multiple administrations the administrationnumber can be added after the @ as in the example	studentnumber@administrationnumber.schooldomain.nl	95312@1.kennisnet.nl

The nlEduPersonRealId attribute

In some cases a Service Provider request the nlEduPersonRealId attribute. During an authentication the Entree Federation application will copy the value of the uid attribitute that is sent by the Identity Provider into the nlEduPersonRealId attribute. Therefore the Identity Provider does not need to configure the nlEduPersonRealId and it is not listed in the table above.

Guidelines for Identity Providers

The user's identity is defined by the attributes that are passed down. It's important that this happens correctly and consistently. Therefore Kennisnet has set up a number of guidelines.

Realm in the uid attribute

The uid-attribute combined with the employeeNumber are the basis of the unique identity of the user within the system. Service Providers who are connected to Entree Federation use this ID to monitor progress or link licenses to it. From a users perspective therefor it is of the atmost importance that this ID is persistent.

The uid-attribute also contains a domain (or realm). If a school wants to change to another type of Identity Provider it is important that the uid of its users stay persistent. Therefor the domain should not contain the name of a system, e.g. pietjepukkelen@elonaam, but the domain should be linked to the school, e.g. pietjepukkelen@petteflatcollege.

If an Identity Provider is used by multiple educational institutions, the Identity Provider has to be able to pass on a unique domain per educational institution within the uid-attribute.

BRIN number in the nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId attribute

Many of the connected Service Providers use schoollicenses. In those cases the BRIN number in the nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId-attribute is used to authorize the user. Entree Federation will validate the received BRIN number against the registered BRIN number.

An Identity Provider must be able to pass on a BRIN number containing either four or six characters.
If an Identity Provider is used by multiple educational institutions, the Identity Provider has to be able to pass on a unique BRIN number per educational institution within the nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId-attribute.

During an authentication the Entree Federation application will copy the value of the ''uid'' attribitute that is sent by the Identity Provider into the ''nlEduPersonRealId'' attribute.

-==Richtlijnen voor Identity Providers==
+The ''uid''-attribute combined with the ''employeeNumber'' are the basis of the unique identity of the user within the system. Service Providers who are connected to Entree Federation use this ID to monitor progress or link licenses to it. From a users perspective therefor it is of the atmost importance that this ID is persistent.
-De attributen die worden doorgegeven definiëren de identiteit van de gebruiker. Het is dan ook belangrijk dat dit correct en consistent gebeurt. Kennisnet heeft daarom hiervoor een aantal richtlijnen opgesteld.
-===Realm in het ''uid'' attribuut===
-Het attribuut ''uid'' vormt samen met het ''employeeNumber'' de basis van de unieke identiteit van een gebruiker binnen de hele keten. Diensten die zijn aangesloten bij Entree Federatie koppelen de voortgang of licenties van de gebruikeraan dit ID. Het is voor de gebruiker daarom uiterst belangrijk dat dit ID persistent is en blijft.
-In het attribuut ''uid'' wordt een domein (of realm) meegegeven. Indien een school in de toekomst naar een andere systeem wil migreren is het belangrijk dat ''uid'' van gebruikers persistent blijft. Daarom moet als domein niet een systeemnaam, bijvoorbeeld pietjepukkelen@elonaam, gebruikt wordt maar een domein van de school, bijvoorbeeld pietjepukkelen@petteflatcollege.
+The ''uid''-attribute also contains a domain (or realm). If a school wants to change to another type of Identity Provider it is important that the ''uid'' of its users stay persistent. Therefor the domain should not contain the name of a system, e.g. pietjepukkelen@elonaam, but the domain should be linked to the school, e.g. pietjepukkelen@petteflatcollege.
+If an Identity Provider is used by multiple educational institutions, the Identity Provider has to be able to pass on a unique domain per educational institution within the ''uid''-attribute.
-Een Identity Provider waar meerdere onderwijsinstellingen gebruik van maken, moet in staat zijn om per aangesloten onderwijsinstelling een uniek domein door te geven in het ''uid'' attribuut.
-===BRIN nummer in het ''nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId'' attribuut===
+===BRIN number in the ''nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId'' attribute===
-Veel aangesloten diensten maken gebruik van schoollicenties. Het BRIN nummer in het ''nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId'' attribuut wordt daarom aangewend om te controleren of een gebruiker toegang heeft. Tijdens een authenticatie valideert Entree Federatie het doorgegeven BRIN nummer.
+Many of the connected Service Providers use schoollicenses. In those cases the BRIN number in the ''nlEduPersonHomeOrganizationId''-attribute is used to authorize the user. Entree Federation will validate the received BRIN number against the registered BRIN number.
