Entree Federation: Attributes overview for Service Providers
Nederlands | English |
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:
- Standard attributes
- Additional attributes
For most Service Providers the set with standard 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.
Standard attributes
In this table you can find the attributes that a Service Provider will always receive from Entree Federation.
Attributename | Description | Format | Example |
---|---|---|---|
uid | Unique ID for the user. This is a encrypted version of the username and employeeNumber, followed by the realm | hash@realm | qj7cks8qdz9ph54@petteflat |

1 Attention: During the implementation of the coupling the Service Provider can choose to receive either the first name or the surname. If the Service Provider prefers to receive both names the school has to sign an Attribute Release Policy form.
