<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">>That is where I'm confused. All Attribute definitions seem to return an IdpAttribute and work fine, so I'm confused why in some cases it works fine, but not here. </p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">The issue is that to extract an IdPAttribute from the Subject, we need to copy it, not just reference it. The encoders wouldn't come along for the ride if they were attached up front and not in the copy made by the resolver.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">It's solveable, just not without more study/work. And it feels like a workaround for the real problem of having to attach the encoders at all.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">>I understand that is the current definition but don't understand the boundry you are running up against. My naive answer is define a third type which is both... Just trying to understand, since there is an obvious gap in my knowledge here - not intended to be pushy.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">That was in fact what I said, we'd need to define a third thing. But that's not simple, the resolver is pretty messy now and the concept of those two types of plugins is really foundational, so adding a third means touching a lot of the code.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Collectively I think we think that it's better to stop putting band aids on it and really think about the problem from scratch.</p>
