Clarify in the documentation that for SAML Single Logout to be
functional, the Identity Provider needs to release a NameID.

Clarify in the documentation that for SAML Single Logout to be
functional, the user's principal property should be mapped from a
SAML NameID and not a SAML Attribute.

NOTE: You can select to map the SAML `NamedID` value or any other SAML attribute value to the `principal` user
property. Keep in mind, however, that if a SAML attribute is mapped, the <<saml-logout, Single Logout>> functionality is
not available.

Is this true? It shouldn't be.
We need to receive a NameID from the IdP, but I don't think we need to map it to principal.

You're right, I jumped the gun on this without looking at the code closely
