    The filter is in the form: attribute=${value}.

    Note:

    Unlike filters used to retrieve LDAP attributes for adapter mapping, do not enclose the statement in parentheses.

    The left-side variable is an attribute in your user-datastore. Click the link near the lower-left corner of the tab to see a list of available attributes.

    The right side of the filter uses one or more attribute values passed in from the SSO token. Variables for these attributes, including the correct syntax, are listed under JIT Attributes.

    Tip:

    If you are unfamiliar with writing LDAP queries, see the documentation accompanying your LDAP installation.
