I'm really glad you found it useful! As for your questions; yeah, the federation file is supposed to list all the accounts that you want to modify; in the case of a custom attribute, I'm afraid you need to modify the python script in order to take that into account. It's pretty simple in fact: add another field in the federation file with the data you need and change the python script to read from that attribute.

That helped me make progress but ran into an error: "TypeError: string indices must be integers" when trying to apply values from "update_saml_attributes." Any ideas on where I need to start looking?
