• <am:Attribute> (one or more)
  • An extraction rule.
    • name (string)
      • SAML Attribute/@Name or NameID/@Format to extract from.
    • nameFormat (string)
      • Optional SAML @AttributeNamespace/@NameFormat of extraction source (defaults to Shibboleth "standard" URI format constants specific to each SAML version).
    • id (string)
      • Primary internal ID of the extracted attribute.
    • aliases (deprecated) (space-delimited list of strings)
      • Additional internal IDs for the extracted attribute.
    • <AttributeDecoder>
      • Optionally specifies the attribute decoder to use. A simple/string decoder is used if not specified.

Each <am:Attribute> element installs a rule for extracting a named SAML attribute or name identifier into an internal attribute. The source of the attribute is identified with the name (and possibly nameFormat) XML attributes and internally tagged with the id (and possibly aliases) XML attributes. The aliases feature is deprecated and may be removed from a future release.

The name property corresponds to the Name XML attribute of a SAML <Attribute> element or the Format XML attribute of a SAML <NameID>/<NameIdentifier> element.

...

Multiple <Attribute> elements can share the same id and alias aliases values; the implication is that a given internal ID may map to multiple externally-named sources.
