Hi all,

*Server Info:*
CAS 5.2.x

*Background:*
Recently our CAS is going to join up with an identity federation as an SAML 
idp, and I am in charge of *checking the compliance* in order for us to 
join.

Most of the items can be check off quickly and I understand the 
requirements, however I have the difficult finding support for the 
following requirement:

*Requirement > Identity Providers SHOULD support the 
urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent name identifier format*

Our CAS server metadata is using the one generated by CAS, so it is 
basically the same as 
https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.2.x/installation/Configuring-SAML2-Authentication.html#idp-metadata

And from what I understand, the only supported Name ID is as follows:

*        
<NameIDFormat>urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier</NameIDFormat>*
*        
<NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient</NameIDFormat>*


And *urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent *is not enabled 
by default.

*Question:*
I would like to know the following:
1. if CAS support *urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent*? I 
would think so, because it is stated clearly on the official CAS doc 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NYN5n6AaNxz0UxwkzIDuXMYL1JUKNZZlSzLZEDUw4Aw/edit#gid=0
 

2. If so, can I just enabled it in metadata like adding another entries?

        <NameIDFormat>urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier</NameIDFormat>
        
<NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient</NameIDFormat>
        
<NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent</NameIDFormat>

3. Is there any security drawback for not enabling 
*urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent *by default? Or maybe 
it is enabled but is not on the metadata?

I will be very grateful for any help given by the communities, thanks!!!

Cheers!
- Andy
