Thanks Scott.  That's what I thought.  We will handle this within our code then.

Thanks again!

>I’ve searched the documentation for SP, and have yet to find a way where shibboleth itself can split / trim values from an attribute that contains more than one value.  For example, we have an IdP sending multiple values, delimited by a semicolon within the eppn attribute.

Well, that's the SP expressing the multiple values that it received by delimiting them. That can happen because an actual multi-valued SAML attribute is received, or because there are multiple SAML attributes mapped to one attribute name/header in the SP configuration.

There is no option in the SP for turning a multi-valued set of data into one value.
