The format in which the user's name should be displayed. This is often
(though not always) in the format of <firstName> <lastName>
EPPN is a shorthand for eduPersonPrincipalName, an attribute defined in the Internet2 eduPerson object class specification that is intended to uniquely identify a user at a given institution. At Harvard, we create an EPPN for each user by transforming a long "opaque internal identifier" into a shorter opaque identifier and then adding on "@harvard.edu" - for example, 4A2849CF119852@harvard.edu.
An EPPN remains the same even if a user change their name — making it, in identity management terminology, unique and persistent.
Please note: Whilst eppn may look the same as an email address -
an email addresses can change (for example, if a user changes their
name etc.), whilst an EPPN cannot. This means that EPPN is NOT
nececcarily the same as email(inherited from Profile) and the two
should not be considered interchangeable
