Set up SAML claim as integer and boolean via Azure Portal

Fernando Pioli 0

Hi There.

I'd like to know how to create a claim for Azure SAML application and set the data type as "integer" and "boolean".

When I add a static value Azure recognize it always as "string" but our vendor expects a boolean and integer in some attributes.

Anyone know how to set it?

Thanks

Hi @Fernando Pioli ,

Thanks for reaching out.

It is not possible to set the data type of SAML claim as SAML attributes type is dependent on the schema where that value is defined.

SAML attributes are defined in the SAML metadata which defines the attribute name, format, and value. The attribute name is a unique identifier for the attribute, the format specifies the syntax of the attribute value, and the value is the actual value of the attribute. The format of the attribute value is dependent on the schema that is used to define the attribute.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta

Hello @Shweta Mathur, first of all thank you very much for the reply.

But I still don't understand.

What would be the scheme used?

Is there no way to force a static value to be of type "integer" for example?

Because when I define a static value it comes with double quotes, I believe that then it becomes a string right?

thanks
