The examples in this section assume use of the Shibboleth IDPv4 software without using its new Attribute Registry and so will work as is for IDP systems that have been upgraded from IDPv3. It does so by including AttributeEncoder elements in the examples below.
Deployers running IDPv4 with the Attribute Registry enabled (typically the result of a clean installation of IDPv4) will need to remove any such AttributeEncoder elemente elements from the AttributeDefinitions shown below. (They may also remove any DisplayName elements used in this section's examples for brevity and clarity. : Like Encoders also DisplayNames will be provided by the IDPv4's Attribute Registry.)

(While this whole documentation set is geared towards fresh installations of IDPv4 it seems more useful to provide instructions that require part of the deployers to remove individual lines from the examples rather than expecting them to find out what and where to add something. This assessment may change and the direct applicability of the examples "reversed" in the future, though.)
