Thank you very much Scott for your explaination! I appreciated it.

I will try to wait that you will find time to produce a working example 
on the shibboleth wiki

Best Regards,
Marco

If you wanted to pull an attribute out, you would be able to do that by walking down into the AttributeContext in the tree and accessing the unfiltered attribute set from there. Mostly the challenge with doing anything like this is understanding the context tree and that's just unfortunately not something we have well-documented.

If you want me to code a working example, then you'll have to wait for me to have time to do that part. You can file something in Jira if you want with the Documentation type, and it will at least be tracked as a requested example when somebody has a chance to write it up.
