InCommon Technical Discussions

One more reason identity federations should seriously campaign for IdPs to 
begin populating eduPersonUniqueId. It has all the right properties that SPs 
look for in an identifier. The challenge is to get a critical mass of 
adopters, to get past the flatish part of the sigmoid curve of adoption.  
This is an inter-federation issue that no single federation can ‘solve’.

    I don't know. If someone from InCommon wants to follow-up with the IdP 
operators to find out, I'd be happy to provide details off-list. It'd be even 
better if the IdP operators in question want to reply on the list.

    Yes, exactly my point. No SPs other than CILogon seem to care about 
ePTID, so why should the IdP operators bother to get it right? Things are 
working for the SPs that matter to them. CILogon is an outlier.
    
    Are there any other SP operators on the list who are detecting these 
ePTID changes?
