Customize an OpenSSO IDPAttributeMapper For Once

To implement a federated solution where the consumer of a service can select which attribute is sent from the identity provider to the service provider as an assertion write a custom IDPAttributeMapper . The getAttributes() method takes the OpenSSO SSOToken as one of its parameters. From this, you can determine who the end user is, pull the correct attributes for that user and return the values as an attribute list. The identity provider will take the attributes and send them to the service provider as part of a SAMLv2 assertion.

Once you've finished, check out the video for the Academy Award-winning song from the movie Once. Excellent film about two people Falling Slowly in love. The love segued into real life until last night when I read that Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova were no longer a couple. Worse things have happened but they were a sweet couple in the film.

Ask and you shall receive (after my return from a short vacay). This is the default implementation.
