My SP just dumps out the attributes that it receives; its not displaying
any Contact values.

I've pasted in my Contacts metadata elements, and my shibboleth2.xml
element -- can anyone see any obvious errors ? Other than the misuse of
GivenName. ;-)

Thanks!

<ContactPerson contactType="technical">
<GivenName>Steven Carmody</GivenName>
<EmailAddress>Steven_...@brown.edu</EmailAddress>
</ContactPerson>

<AttributeExtractor type="Metadata" DisplayName="displayName"
errorURL="errorURL"
Description="description" InformationURL="informationURL"
OrganizationName="organizationName" >

<ContactPerson id="contact-technical" contactType="technical"
formatter="$GivenName $EmailAddress " />

</AttributeExtractor>

That matches what I have in my sandbox.

I continue to assume there has to be something wrong with your metadata, but all I can suggest is attaching the metadata and your configuration to a bug report and I'll reproduce it. I'll leave it open until I can test it on Linux, but that won't be any time soon. But there is no reason why Windows should work any differently, particularly when your errorURL problem is factored in.

I have not started to play with the new Shib 2.5 beta yet, but ContactPerson can show up in multiple places inside of SAML2 Metadata, so you may need to clarify where in the SAML 2 Metadata this ContactPerson element lies (as a part of the IDPSSODescriptor, part of the EntityDescriptor, or some place else?). It may be necessary to document where in the metadata the Shibboleth SP looks for attributes?

Anything in the role issuing the user's assertion or above it in that entity is found, so there's nothing special to document, it looks in all the places it can.
