You just move into the modern InputAttributeDefinition or InputDataConnector syntax and specify the source attribute explicitly that way, that's all. The deprecation is just the syntax, nothing functional. We got rid of all the occurrences of sourceAttributeId that were in the top level elements.

The properties in that file have no relevance to the generator that's based on attributes. The properties control persistent NameID generation and that generator is for custom NameIDs using other formats. The properties are used because we auto-configure the persistent NameID generator beans internally instead of exposing them in the XML file, whereas the AttributeSourcedGenerator beans are actually configured by you directly (unless you create your own properties to use).
