It's not, that would be an attribute extracted with the metadata
extraction support.

See Metadata Attribute Extraction in the
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPAttributeExtra
ctor topic

The checker runs after the session's attributes are computed, so any
extractors that run get to run first, and anything they create is in the
session and available for examination.

I don't think the template assumes that's present, does it? IIRC it's
wrapped in a conditional or used in a non-failing sort of way.
