Thank you @ThiefMaster for the prompt reply,
The user base of the IDP I am trying to connect is OpenLDAP and in the attribute-map.xml file, the LDAP section is not commented out that is why I did not change anything in that file:
Here is the LDAP section I was thinking will do the job for me:

I am really new to IDP and SP:
is this line mapping the email address to the field mail?
Attribute name=“urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3” id=“mail”/
If it is not mapping, can you please give me a hint on how I can do that in the attribute-map.xml file.
I do really appreciate your help.
