Hi Nate,

 

The attribute-resolver.xml that I used was downloaded from https://spaces.internet2.edu/download/attachments/5557/attribute-resolver.xml?version=2, and I only update the scope value. So the configuration of PrincipalConnector and AttributeDefinition of principalName are remained as default value, i.e. they have the same value as your suggestion.

 

In addition, I’ve added tomcatAuthentication="false" in tomcatAuthentication="false"

 

Thanks

 

Eric

Eric,

 

Assuming you are indeed being asked to authenticate and that's not misconfigured, this time you need an appropriate principal connector defined, and appropriate release for it configured.  In particular, in attribute-resolver.xml, you need something like:

 

    <resolver:PrincipalConnector xsi:type="Direct" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:pc"

                                 id="saml1UnspecDirect"

                                 nameIDFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:nameid-format:unspecified" />

 

    <resolver:PrincipalConnector xsi:type="Direct" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:pc"

                                 id="saml2UnspecDirect"

                                 nameIDFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:unspecified" />

 

and

 

    <resolver:AttributeDefinition id="principalName" xsi:type="PrincipalName" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad">

        <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1StringNameIdentifier" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"

                                   nameFormat="urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier" />

        

        <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2StringNameID" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"

                                   nameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:unspecified" />

                                   

        <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML1StringNameIdentifier" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"

                                   nameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:nameid-format:unspecified" />

                                   

   </resolver:AttributeDefinition>

 

You will also need a release policy in attribute-filter.xml such as:

 

    <AttributeFilterPolicy id="releasePrincipalToAnyone">

        <PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="basic:ANY" />

 

        <AttributeRule attributeID="principalName">

            <PermitValueRule xsi:type="basic:ANY" />

        </AttributeRule>

    </AttributeFilterPolicy>

 

There is no privacy preserved in those settings, but give them a try to see if the provider will function.

Nate.
