It is the decoder plugin that actually understands how to process an attribute's values.

Common Attributes
...
hashAlg(string) (Version 2.3 and Above)- Name of a hashing algorithm to apply to the decoded attribute's serialized values before caching them. Internally, this turns any source attribute object into a simple/string-valued attribute whose values are the result of hashing the original values that would have been placed into the mapped header(s). The algorithm names to use here are dependent on the cryptographic library that supplies the hashing. In the case of OpenSSL, they're simple names like "SHA1" or "SHA256".
langAware(boolean) (defaults to false) (Version 2.5 and Above)- If true, the decoding process changes from "decode all values" to "find the value whose
xml:langattribute best matches the combination of the client's requested language preference(s) and any server-imposed defaults". If no match is found, a single unspecified value is selected. All other values are ignored.
- If true, the decoding process changes from "decode all values" to "find the value whose
String AttributeDecoder
Indicated by xsi:type="StringAttributeDecoder", treats the SAML attribute's values as a simple string. No additional processing is done.
