Help- Attribute is null in request header during authorization (kevin.foote)

[Milan Ashara]

 Hello kevin.foote,

      We  have found that we are getting "unable to access local file
     /etc/shibboleth/attribute-map.xml" in shibd_warn.log.

     Is it due to this we are not getting attribute. How to solved this 
issue

 Thanks
