We allow the passing of attributes to us to personalize the user's experience on our site. A typical set is MAIL, SN, GIVENNAME, EPPN. I have one school that passes GIVENNAME with multiple values. In a typical scenario where I get a single value, it allows us to greet the user by name on the site as well as personalize other elements. In this instance, with multiple values, how do I know which value to use? Should the school in question make that determination and apprise me? Or is there a generally accepted approach for this?</div>
