SimpleSAML configuration error : missing uid attribute

Hello,

I've been trying to configure SimpleSAML 1.15.4 in order to user the FileSender platform that I have installed on my computer.

When I launch Apache services, I can get to the authentification page of SimpleSAML. Then, I type the user name, the password on the SimpleSAML authentification page in order to access the filesender plateform. The user is authentificated successfully (I checked in /var/log/messages). But instead of showing me the FileSender plateform, I get an error message saying :

The application wasn't able to execute your request.
Missing uid attribute for Service Provider authentification.

Array ( [attribute] => uid )

It says that the attribute uid (user id) is missing in one of SimpleSAML's config files but I don't know which config file this message refers to.

Does anyone know in which config file this attribute should be ?

Here is what appears in the log :

[2018-07-04 07:58:30] [gui:warn] No translation found for auth_sp_attribute_uid_hint in fr-fr language

These are the attributes available for authentification. Check if the spelling of the attribute is correct. May be the configuration is looking for the wrong attribute?
