Description
New Feature Request
Summary
Problem: When communicating with SPs/RPs, the federation operator now cannot tell which attributes are available from the connected IdP's.
Value: This gives the federation operator insight in what attributes are available from which IdP, so attributes can be predicably released to SPs/RPs, according to the attribute release policy. This assumes attributes are filled with valid values, addressing that is a separate problem.
Proposed Solution
-
Action: For each authentication, check which attributes (not values) were released by the IdP and compare that against a list of expected attributes for that IdP.
-
Design: [Link to Figma/Screenshots]
-
Impact: Does this affect existing APIs or UI components?
