urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 is the SAML 2 name for "uid".  I think 
employeeNumber is represented as "urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.3" (at 
least that's what we use).

Unless they are passing it in the uid field you're not mapping.

You might find it helpful as well to hit /Shibboleth.sso/Session after 
logging in, to see what attributes were received (and you can tweak 
shibboleth2.xml to show the values instead of a count if you want).
