Symptoms

During SAML Authentication while TMM parses the assertion to extract the attributes and its respective values, all the attributes values are combined into a single string with '|' as separator and are assigned to a single variable leaving remaining ones empty.

Impact

All the session variables related to assertion attributes are assigned and stored incorrectly.
