Mapping attribute names for Attribute Query

If the application at your site uses different names for user attributes than the names defined by the attribute authority, you must map them on the Attribute Name Mapping tab.

About this task

When the service provider (SP) receives a request from a local application to send an attribute query to this attribute authority partner, the requested user attributes are replaced with the names mapped here.

You must predetermine this information in your agreement with this connection partner.

Steps

  1. To map an attribute, configure the Local Name and Remote Name fields for the attribute, then click Add.

Choice Action

Click Edit under Action for the attribute, make the change, then click Update.
