The URL you cited has all the necessary configuration, it seems.
If you want to know about specific items/terms from the Shibboleth
software I suggest looking at the Shibboleth documentation, e.g.
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NameIDAttributes
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPNameIdentifier
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ResolverPrincipalNameDefinition
etc.
