Preventing an Attribute from being Displayed in Clear Text on Results Pages

Identity Manager displays the value of an attribute in clear text on Results pages, even when you have set the attribute for display with asterisks in an Edit form.

To prevent an attribute from being displayed in clear text on Results pages, you must register it as a secret attribute. To register a secret attribute, add it as follows to the System Configuration object:

<Attribute name=’secretAttributes’>
   <List>
     <String>email</String>
     <String>myAttribute</String>
   </List>
</Attribute>
