[External] Re: Activation Conditions and AbstractAttributePredicate warning after IDPv4 Upgrade

[Cantor, Scott]

Just due to the bizarreness, I tried and failed to reproduce this. The only scenario I could imagine causing this to warn on *startup* would be metadata.

When it decides EntityAttribute extensions in the metadata (this is automatic, they just have to be there), it will run any transcoders it finds against them. For this to happen, the name of the EntityAttribute in SAML has to line up with the name you're encoding the resolver AttributeDefinition *into*, because that reverse maps into a possible decoder to run, at which point it will evaluate the condition and of course there's no attributes to even look at for that condition, it's not a normal situation.

So...that'd maybe be my guess. That wouldn't be an inaccurate warning at all. And it would be new with V4.
