I have set the Shibboleth-Process log to ALL to get all messages.

The idp-process.log says:

LdapDataConnector:882] - Found the following attribute: employeeID=[150998702]

It only mentions the one value.

I specified that the value is used by the employeeNumber definition in the 
attibute-resolver.xml file. I am not sure I have to specify it elsewhere. I am 
not sure that I have properly specified it.

It is not released.
There is nothing in the log file that tells me where the value went or if it 
was used in any way.
