Yes, but I already did.

Like the message says, you're missing encoders in your attribute
definitions for mail and cn and hence no attributes are being sent.

Like said before, those attributes are pre-defined in the distributed
file attribute-resolver.xml and these definitions are working and
fully sufficient. Just restore those.

Or copy them from the version control system:
http://svn.shibboleth.net/view/java-shib-idp2/tags/2.4.0/src/installer/resources/conf-tmpl/attribute-resolver.xml?content-type=text/plain&view=co

If that's too easy still, read the documentation and learn how to
define your own attribute definitions:
