PartnerSiteAttributeMapper Interface


Caution – Caution –

The SiteAttributeMapper interface has been deprecated. Use the PartnerSiteAttributeMapper interface.


The PartnerSiteAttributeMapper interface needs to be implemented by each partner site. The implemented class defines a list of attributes to be returned as elements of the AttributeStatements in an authentication assertion. By default, when OpenSSO Enterprise creates an assertion and no mapper is specified, the authentication assertion only contains authentication statements. If a partner site wants to include attribute statements, it needs to implement this mapper which would be used to obtain attributes, create the attribute statement, and insert the statement inside the assertion. To set up a PartnerSiteAttributeMapper do the following:

  1. Implement a customized class based on the PartnerSiteAttributeMapper interface.

    This class will include user attributes in the SAML authentication assertion.

  2. Log in to the OpenSSO Enterprise console to configure the class in the Site Attribute Mapper attribute of the Trusted Partner configuration.
