Chapter 27       Naming Attributes


The Naming Attributes are global attributes. The values applied to them are carried across the Sun ONE Identity Server configuration and inherited by every configured organization. (They can not be applied directly to roles or organizations as the goal of global attributes is to customize the Identity Server application.)

The Naming Service allows clients to find the correct service URL if the platform is running more than one Identity Server. When a naming URL is found, the naming service will decode the session of the user and dynamically replace the protocol, host, and port with the parameters from the session. This ensures that the URL returned for the service is for the host that the user session was created on. The Naming Attributes are:

• Profile Service URL

• Session Service URL

• Logging Service URL

• Policy Service URL

• Auth Service URL

• SAML Web Profile/Artifact Service URL

• SAML SOAP Service URL

• SAML Web Profile/POST Service URL

• SAML Assertion Manager Service URL
