Followup to previous question about Shibboleth 5.1.4 Attribute Authority functionality

[o haya]

Hi Scott,

Thanks to that document, I was able to setup properties files in the
conf/attributes/custom directory for each of the attributes that I wanted
to be included in the response, and then it all worked perfectly!

Thanks for the link, and also for the document itself!

Jim
