When developing portlet functionality that requires access to a user's identity, you often need to map between attributes in Oracle Portal and Oracle Internet Directory, and userProfileItems in WSRP. Note that for Oracle Portal, these attributes are static and cannot be configured. This appendix provides a table that shows the mapping between various attributes.
Table C-1 provides a mapping of userProfileItems to Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Portal attributes.
Note:
In cases where the Oracle Internet Directory attribute holds a complex string, likehomePostalAddress, it is parsed into the needed component strings. The delimiter is assumed to be the dollar sign ($). For example, suppose you had the following value for homePostalAddress in Oracle Internet Directory:
123 Main St$$$Smallville$NY$10001
In the Oracle Portal profile attributes, this string would be parsed as follows:
123 Main St goes into HOME_ADDR1.
Smallville goes into HOME_CITY.
NY goes into HOME_STATE.
10001 goes into HOME_ZIP.
