Re: [keycloak-user] Setting NameID to Unspecified

Hi Manuel, Thanks for replying. That url does help me understand the difference between the different identifier types. However, the client I'm working with has it set in their IdP that the SAML message sent to it should contain one of the user's attributes (specific string of numbers, like a special user id) in the NameID field, with a format of unspecified. In Keycloak (at least 4.4 and 5.0, that I checked), there's no option for "unspecified" in the NameID format setting, or a way to remove it altogether to default to unspecified. Is this something Keycloak can support out of the box? Is it something I can accomplish with a JavaScript protocol mapper, or do I have to code my own mapper for that purpose?
