attribute_eduPersonPrincipalName

The NetID (account login identifier) for inter-institutional authentication. This can be thought of as the account login scoped to the identity provider. For everyone in the directory, it is 'tamuEduPersonNetID@tamu.edu'. This value is also the Kerberos principal for the account holder. This is a human-friendly identifier for the account holder. NetIDs are revokable (account holders are allowed to switch to a different NetID).
