Type Parameters:

NameIdType - type of object produced

All Known Subinterfaces:

FormatSpecificNameIdentifierGenerator<NameIdType>, SAML1NameIdentifierGenerator, SAML2NameIDGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

```
public interface NameIdentifierGenerator<NameIdType extends SAMLObject>
```
Interface for a component that produces SAML NameIdentifier and/or NameID objects for inclusion in assertion subjects.
Such a component typically consumes attribute information produced about the subject and transforms it (possibly via identity function) into use as a subject identifier. This operation is essentially the inverse of a subject canonicalization flow that operates on SAML identifiers and turns them back into principal names.

A component may be self-contained and need not depend on any other subject information, depending on the nature of the identifier.
