Using an attribute prefix is not the norm, but you seem to be trying to collect all of the user attributes into a map as opposed to just accessing what it is that you want to access. To do that, I would imagine that you would add a prefix, yes.

Well, it isn't the intention that you go after an undefined set of variables, so it isn't normally necessary to prefix them. You would normally access something mapped to "eppn" by accessing "eppn", which isn't convoluted at all.

Apart from that, you're just confusing metadata-based attributes about the IdP with attributes about the user/subject and you're looking at settings and plugins that deal with the former, not the latter.
