Note that the display Name is not usually the username (or NetID or
uid or principal name or whatever) of the logged in subject.

Also note that unless yuo're using SAML1 (unlikely but impossible for
me to know) that last image from your SP's attribute-map.xml will not
do anything since it's SAML1 specific.
You'd need to include (or uncomment) the line with the SAML2 attribute
name (the "name" of the second AttributeEncoder, in your example from
the IdP's attribute-resolver.xml).

This is how:

If you don't understand it (note the examples at the end of that page)
please ask what specifically is unclear. Or alternatively descibe your
environment (the programming language, API, technology with which you
want to show this data; static HTML cannot include dynamic values).
