Globus Auth Change Log for Identity Provider Data
In response to changes in information received from identity providers, Globus occasionally changes identity metadata provided to services that rely on Globus Auth. All changes are made by Globus either on request from or in consultation with the identity provider. Globus publishes these changes so consumers of the Globus platform are aware of changes in information received from Globus. Changes since 5/1/2019 are listed in the table below.
- Display name
-
Name used to identify the identity provider in the discovery interfaces (e.g. when a user logs in via Globus Auth).
- Identity Provider Specific Identifier
-
Globus requires identity providers to release a field corresponding to a persistent identifier that uniquely identifies a user. The expectation of consumers of the Globus Platform is that a user’s Identity Provider Specific Identifier will never change. Examples of a persistent identifier that uniquely identifies a user include eduPersonTargetedID for SAML identity providers and sub for OIDC identity providers.
