This API is used to among others: - -* Attribute name translation -* User consent -* Warning about access to Pre-production environment -* Retrieval of attributes from an external source -* Filtering attributes (Attribute Release Policy implementations) - -A bunch of pre-made *Authentication Processing Filter* is included in the simpleSAMLphp distribution.

SimpleSAMLphp is the only known federation software that have implemented a solution to this problem. - -## Dynamic SAML - -SimpleSAMLphp has experimental support for dynamically downloading the metadata of an Service Provider or Identity Provider when receiving a new incomming message where the entityId is unknown.
