I don't understand that statement, SAML2StringNameID is one of the older attribute encoders, you would have had an AttributeEncoder there, just a different type of one. So clarifying that would help.

Secondly, if you don't have the property set that enables the "legacy" NameIDGeneration through the resolver, then those deprecated NameID-generating encoders won't run. So there's that.

Lastly, none of this should have impacted whether the attribute was available to the non-deprecated generator layer. So this still doesn't make sense to me.
