I'd assume that you'd need an InputAttributeDefinition for "uid" on
the DataConnector with the above FilterTemplate in order to make that
attribute and its values available to that DataConnector:

> For each IdPAttribute available from all the input dependencies, the

Do you have declared these "input dependencies"?
