Shibboleth Developers

[Walter Hoehn <>]

The function of this configuration element has changed  
substantially.  It now serves an ordered list of valid name mappings  
that are supported by the relying party.  During SSO transactions the  
IdP determines the appropriate mapping to use by negotiating between  
what the SP would like to receive (as indicated by the metadata) and  
what the IdP can offer.  In attribute queries, the IdP will reject  
queries that don't contain a name identifier format that is  
configured for the relying party.
