Summary Attributes

Every persistent object exposes a set of summary attributes. Summary attributes are configured in the Identity Manager Schema Configuration object and contain the values that are returned for each item in the result of a list operation. Each PersistentObject subclass can extend the default set of attributes by overriding the getSummaryAttributes method.

Summary attributes are typically single-valued, because there is a limit to the total length of summary attributes when serialized to a string.

You configure these attributes for user objects directly through the Identity Manager Schema Configuration object. For more information, see IDM Schema Configuration Object.

The SummaryAttrNames section of UserUIConfig is no longer used in Identity Manager.
