Hi Dimuthu,

I think following the general approach as you mentioned is correct.
In this approach I think the value of the "NameFormat" attribute should be the dialect URI of the claim. I think this is similar to the ArributeNamespace in SAML 1.x

For example IMHO the following SAML 1.x attr in an attr stmt :

<saml:Attribute AttributeNamespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims"; AttributeName="givenname">
        <saml:AttributeValue>Foo</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>

should be (in SMAL 2.0) :

<saml:Attribute NameFormat="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims"; Name="givenname">
        <saml:AttributeValue>Foo</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>


Thanks,
Ruchith

Hi all,

This mail is about AttributeStatement in SAML2.0

Let me quote from 3.3.3 section of the specification [1].

"Similarly to name identifier formats, attribute names are also
qualified with a format label which indicates how the attribute name is
to be interpreted. In both of the cases here (lines 3 and 10), the
name format is not one of those predefined by SAML, but is rather
defined by a third party, SmithCo. This is a fairly artificial example,
and interoperability would increased by either the use of one of SAML's
attribute profiles or the formal definition of a third-party attribute
profile."

I googled a lot and I concluded that there are no profiles/bindings
specifically defined for SAML2.0 behavior, therefore I decided to take
the general approach defined in this specification [1] - line number is
429.

Please raise your objections and comments.
