Hello Thomas,

Apparently, your authentication service (IdP) provides a string value of an attribute 'urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.10' (eduPersonTargetedID) which is an invalid, deprecated eduPersonTargetedID value format.
On thursday we upgraded the version of SimpleSAMLphp which we use as a SAML IdP Proxy for eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool. Providing attribute 'urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.10' as a string was tolerated in SimpleSAMLphp versions prior to 1.15, but the latest stable version of SimpleSAMLphp requires eduPersonTargetedID to be provided as an XML construct.

For example, your IdP provides SAML authentication response which contains following attribute statement:


<saml:AttributeStatement>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string">some_value</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.241" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string">Thomas Andersen</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.10" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string">WAYF-DK-some_value</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
</saml:AttributeStatement>


but instead, your IdP should provide attribute statement that roughly looks like:


<saml:AttributeStatement>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string">some_value</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.241" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string">Thomas Andersen</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.10" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue>
       <saml:NameID NameQualifier="https://birk.wayf.dk/birk.php/wayf.itu.dk/saml2/idp/metadata.php" SPNameQualifier="https://monitor.eduroam.org/sp/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp" Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent">WAYF-DK-some_value</saml:NameID>
    </saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
</saml:AttributeStatement>


Unfortunatelly, there's not much we can do about it, as this problem has to be fixed at the IdP side.
