Generate EduPersonTargetedID^?

Current Shibboleth does not ship with an easy to use eduPersonTargetedID tool. The old way of generating a value based on a hash of a combination of a private key in the keystore and the SP "providerID" value does not work very well if the SP changes its value, or the keystore is lost.

The alternative is to create a database which is populated with individuals targetedID value. The connector simply gets this value from the database for each person. However, it is not clear how this value can be dynamically generated on the fly if the person has not been to this SP before?

Another option is to install ShARPE and use its mapping capability
