Mauro,

Apparently each search is returning different information, or you're  
building an attribute directly from the principal name.

Either way, with the IdP's main logging and LDAP logging on DEBUG  
you'll be able to follow the resolution and release of values  
precisely and figure out why there's a discrepancy.

I'd start with the assertion that is produced, identify which  
attribute(or Subject) is different, and then trace back in the logs to  
figure out why.

Thanks,
Nate.
