The following Extended User Attributes component services are installed when the Content Server is installed:
The following services are extended to provide support for Extended User Attributes:
Service adds extended attributes to a user. The user does not have to exist before using the service. If this service is asked to add extended attributes which already exist for the user, the service modifies the previous entries.
Location:
IdcHomeDir/components/ExtendedUserAttributes/resources/extendeduserattributes_services.htm
Additional Required Service Parameters
dName: The user name.
ExtUserAttribInfo Resultset: A ResultSet containing extended user attribution information.
CheckUserMustExist: If set to true, a limited check is performed to verify that the user exists before extended attributes are added. This check only works for local users; it is not recommended to set this value for typical service calls.
The following example from add_user_attr.txt illustrates the use of this service:
# Add a security group and an account to the user's extended attributes # with different applications @Properties LocalData IdcService=ADD_EXTENDED_USER_ATTRIBUTES dName=jsmith @end @ResultSet ExtUserAttribInfo 3 dUserName dApplication AttributeInfo jsmith appl account,abc/def,15 jsmith app2 role,contributor,15 @end
Service edits extended user attributes for a user. The user does not have to exist before using the service. All previously extended attributes are replaced by the new extended attributes provided.
Location:
IdcHomeDir/components/ExtendedUserAttributes/resources/extendeduserattributes_services.htm
Additional Required Service Parameters
dName: The user name.
ExtUserAttribInfo ResultSet: A ResultSet containing extended user attribution information.

Additional Required Service Parameters
dDefAttribs: The default attributes in the form of a comma-separated entry consisting of three items.
dECPropSubKey: A second key; the default attributes will load for all users whether or not this key is specified.
IsSecureDefaultAttribute: When set to 1 and used with the databinder when using the default Web services ( ) then it registers defaults that only apply to logged in users. (By default, default attributes apply to all users, including "anonymous".)
The following example from set_defs.txt illustrates the use of this service:
# Sets some default attributes for all users @Properties LocalData IdcService=SET_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES dECPropSubKey=extprops dDefAttribs=account,#abc,15 @end
Service deletes some default attributes that will always be applied to a user.

The following example from delete_user.txt illustrates the use of this service:
# Delete user with extended security data @Properties LocalData IdcService=DELETE_USER dName=jsmith @end
This service acts as usual however the attributes it returns are contingent on the value of the getAllAttributes parameter. If the parameter is passed as true, this service returns a merger of both regular and extended user attributes. For additional information see "QUERY_USER_ATTRIBUTES".
Location:
IdcHomeDir/components/ExtendedUserAttributes/resources/extendeduserattributes_services.htm
The following example from query_user_attr.txt illustrates the use of this service:
