SAML2 attribute names breaking standards

[Wessel, Keith]

Thanks, Scott and Nate, for confirming my suspicions on this.

I've told the vendor no and asked them to change their approach, at least paying attention to the friendly name if nothing else. I'm not holding my breath, but we'll see what comes of it.

Pretty much the reason is that every step you take in this direction is a
burden your configuration will carry. Eventually the weight of all the
hacks just causes a lot of problems in maintaining a working system.
