I would imagine your database has no such data in it.

That value is improper, that is not a syntactically correct expression. eduPersonTargetedID isn't a scoped attribute, it's NameID-valued. Given the rest, you may be doing that intentionally to test behavior when dealing with broken IdPs.

You are using the compatibilty decoder designed to help migrate applications dealing with IdPs providing invalid values that are scoped. You are then telling it to serialize the value using only the "Name" component of the resulting NameID. That's your choice, the formatter can embed the different pieces however you want it to.

And that's your change. That's not a default configuration, so you had to have chosen to change it.

Well, for the second issue, read the documentation on the decoder settings you're using. If you don't understand it, tell me what it is you don't understand so I can improve it.
