How about... asking them for it?
- iamnotacrook 7y agoYeah would it kill you to pick up the phone every once in a while? You can't beat the personal touch!
- wukerplank 7y agoI don't get why you are being downvoted. It's a legitimate strategy. Register with oauth (or whatever) and then fill in the blanks (nickname, etc.)
- xenophonf 7y agoThat's basically what we have to do as a SAML service provider. Most SAML identity providers don't release identifying information—out of apathy or ignorance usually, not because of privacy concerns—so we take whatever (hopefully persistent) identifier we're given, re-identify the user at registration time, and call it a day.
- eropple 7y agoI've never seen a SAML IdP that can't release that stuff as claims when configured properly. Are you having trouble getting people to do that when you use SAML?
- xenophonf 7y agoOh sure, a SAML IdP or OIDC OP _can_ release all kinds of info, but they generally don't if our experience with InCommon and eduGAIN IdPs is any guide. We even made sure we complied with REFEDS R&S (https://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship/ https://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship/).
