For testing with SimpleSAMLPHP, see https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-reference-idp-hosted for reference on how to configure SSP

In a persistent identifier scenario, the RP requests a persistent identifier using the persistent scope, and should receive a pairwise sub per RP, regardless of which persistent Identifier attributes we received from the SAML IdP as an identifier.
We cannot deliver a persistent Identifier if we do not get any persistent Identifier from the SAML IdP

The following scenarios need to be tested:

ConfigurationParameters (for SSP)Expected Result

Transient SAML NameID, eduPersonAffiliation and SchacHomeOrganization

IdP: release

  • persistent SAML nameID
  • edupersonaffiliation
  • schachomeorganization

RP request:

  • persistent scope
  • student scope
NameIDFormat = urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent

urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.1 = student
  • TRANSACTION MUST FAIL, as we have no persistent ID to base our response on.
  • Redirect to invalid attributes page



Transient SAML NameID, eduPersonScopedAffiliation

IdP: release

  • transient SAML nameID

  • eduPersonScopedAffiliation

RP request:

  • persistent scope
  • student scope
