  8. Add the following lines, after the entityid line:
'name' => 'Team Dynamix',
'AttributeNameFormat' => 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri',
'simplesaml.attributes' => true,
'authproc' => array(
  50 => array( /* The AttributeMap converts attributes from the local name (like eduPersonPrincipalName) to the name format needed by TeamDynamix */
    'class' => 'core:AttributeMap',
    'eduPersonPrincipalName' => 'urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6',
    'cn' => 'urn:oid:2.5.4.3',

    'eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation' => 'urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.5', ),
  /* The AttributeLimit only provides the needed attributes, as listed by the name post-AttributeMap conversion*/
  60 => array (
    'class' => 'core:AttributeLimit',
    'urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6',
