      As maintainer of the auth_saml2 plugin I'm getting regular bug reports that people cannot map the data fields which are being provided by ADFS into user accounts. This mapping stuff is managed by core, and saml in some situations provides the attributes for a user using a namespaced url. Here are a recent bug raised:

      Here is another with a couple workarounds:

      But I can't see any real reason why this is limited in core, so I'd like to relax the validation for these fields.
