Bug Description

So that we can diagnose issues where the attributes being passed in from IdP are not authenticating a user.

In case things like:
- username has changed on IdP end and we still expect old version
- expected attributes, eg email address, are not being sent
- institution name has changed

So we can adjust the Mahara side to expect the new attribute values
