identifier characteristics: Definitive statement for HE and Research: https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/CONCEPT/NameIdentifiers

. unique across the IdPs population Y/N

G does have its own internal-only identifier
identifier is a tuple, sourceID + personID from that source
enter ePPN, or link in email for new ppl being added
id to label person in system, but also identifiers for looking them up: email, name,....LoginID
id and identifier (anything that can uniquely identify a person
Grouper external users is where the ePPN for a new member

mp: OID is permanent, not shared name is a name-based identifier (other could be added), can change if needed, could be a campus id that users tend to know
- globally unique by inclusion of a scope element or domain identifier
- mP can generate any other unique id and share with external systems

. name-based or otherwise recognizable? Y/N
internal id: No
. opaque (not name-based or otherwise recognizable) Y/N

- permanent (changes are rare or non-existent)
can be merged if necessary.

- re-assignable (once assigned, a given identifier value will never be reused and assigned to another person)


- pairwise (formerly called targeted): A person has a different identifier for each service or resource provider with which they interact


. What is the primary, wholly internal person identifier in your package?
. What identifier(s) do you expose to other packages?

KeithL: If you make a REST call: here's user, get the OID, use that in the actual REST call

. What identifier(s) do you expose to other packages? Internal ID plus tuple source/identifier
generate anything you want, configurable; DO NOT USE OID; mP API is a case where you could use OID,

- Do you maintain a crosswalk between each external system identifier and your internal identifier?
correlation rule: connector says how the id in system maps to id in mP; midPoint maintains link over subsequent change

. How do you handle changes to name-based identifiers
