OpenSAML user discussion

[Dung Huynh <>]

Hi,

I am doing research in the SAML 1.1 specification and run across some 
question in SAML attribute.  I hope that  some one in the group can help to 
answer.

The <Attribute> element supplies the value for an attribute of an assertion 
subject, and it is an extend of AttributeDesignatorType.
The AttributeDesignatorType has 2 required field, AttributeName and 
AttributeNamespace.

My question is the following:

1) is the AttributeNamespace must be 
"http://www.oasis-open.org/RSA2004/attributes"; and what are the list of 
attribute names that can be used as AttributeName for 
http://www.oasis-open.org/RSA2004/attributes AttributeNamespace .

2) Is it possible to introduce my user-define attribute name (ie. "security 
level") and use with  http://www.oasis-open.org/RSA2004/attributes 
AttributeNamespace?

Thanks in advance for helping.
