-# Benchmarking
-
-GitLab CE comes with a set of benchmarks that are executed for every build. This
-makes it easier to measure performance of certain components over time.
-
-Benchmarks are written as RSpec tests using a few extra helpers. To write a
-benchmark, first tag the top-level `describe`:
-
-```ruby
-describe MaruTheCat, benchmark: true do
-
-end
-```
-
-This ensures the benchmark is executed separately from other test collections.
-It also exposes the various RSpec matchers used for writing benchmarks to the
-test group.
-
-Next, lets write the actual benchmark:
-
-```ruby
-describe MaruTheCat, benchmark: true do
- let(:maru) { MaruTheChat.new }
-
- describe '#jump_in_box' do
- benchmark_subject { maru.jump_in_box }
-
- it { is_expected.to iterate_per_second(9000) }
- end
-end
-```
-
-Here `benchmark_subject` is a small wrapper around RSpec's `subject` method that
-makes it easier to specify the subject of a benchmark. Using RSpec's regular
-`subject` would require us to write the following instead:
-
-```ruby
-subject { -> { maru.jump_in_box } }
-```
-
-The `iterate_per_second` matcher defines the amount of times per second a
-subject should be executed. The higher the amount of iterations the better.
-
-By default the allowed standard deviation is a maximum of 30%. This can be
-adjusted by chaining the `with_maximum_stddev` on the `iterate_per_second`
-matcher:
-
-```ruby
-it { is_expected.to iterate_per_second(9000).with_maximum_stddev(50) }
-```
-
-This can be useful if the code in question depends on external resources of
-which the performance can vary a lot (e.g. physical HDDs, network calls, etc).
-However, in most cases 30% should be enough so only change this when really
-needed.
-
-## Benchmarks Location
-
-Benchmarks should be stored in `spec/benchmarks` and should follow the regular
-Rails specs structure. That is, model benchmarks go in `spec/benchmark/models`,
-benchmarks for code in the `lib` directory go in `spec/benchmarks/lib`, etc.
-
-## Underlying Technology
-
-The benchmark setup uses [benchmark-ips][benchmark-ips] which takes care of the
-heavy lifting such as warming up code, calculating iterations, standard
-deviation, etc.

+## Customization
+
+### `attribute_statements`
+
+>**Note:**
+This setting is only available on GitLab 8.6 and above.
+This setting should only be used to map attributes that are part of the
+OmniAuth info hash schema.
+
+`attribute_statements` is used to map Attribute Names in a SAMLResponse to entries
+in the OmniAuth [info hash](https://github.com/intridea/omniauth/wiki/Auth-Hash-Schema#schema-10-and-later).
+
+For example, if your SAMLResponse contains an Attribute called 'EmailAddress',
+specify `{ email: ['EmailAddress'] }` to map the Attribute to the
+corresponding key in the info hash. URI-named Attributes are also supported, e.g.
+`{ email: ['http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress'] }`.
+
+This setting allows you tell GitLab where to look for certain attributes required
+to create an account. Like mentioned above, if your IdP sends the user's email
+address as `EmailAddress` instead of `email`, let GitLab know by setting it on
+your configuration:
+
+```yaml
+args: {
+ assertion_consumer_service_url: 'https://gitlab.example.com/users/auth/saml/callback',
+ idp_cert_fingerprint: '43:51:43:a1:b5:fc:8b:b7:0a:3a:a9:b1:0f:66:73:a8',
+ idp_sso_target_url: 'https://login.example.com/idp',
+ issuer: 'https://gitlab.example.com',
+ name_identifier_format: 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient',
+ attribute_statements: { email: ['EmailAddress'] }
+}
+```
+
+### `allowed_clock_drift`
+
+The clock of the Identity Provider may drift slightly ahead of your system clocks.
+To allow for a small amount of clock drift you can use `allowed_clock_drift` within
+your settings. Its value must be given in a number (and/or fraction) of seconds.
+The value given is added to the current time at which the response is validated.
+
+```yaml
+args: {
+ assertion_consumer_service_url: 'https://gitlab.example.com/users/auth/saml/callback',
+ idp_cert_fingerprint: '43:51:43:a1:b5:fc:8b:b7:0a:3a:a9:b1:0f:66:73:a8',
+ idp_sso_target_url: 'https://login.example.com/idp',
+ issuer: 'https://gitlab.example.com',
+ name_identifier_format: 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient',
+ attribute_statements: { email: ['EmailAddress'] },
+ allowed_clock_drift: 1 # for one second clock drift
+}
+```
