Response Providers

Response providers are plug-ins that provide values, in the final policy decision, for particular attributes in the authorized user's profile. The attributes are sent with the policy decision to the policy agent which, in turn, passes them in headers to an application. The application typically uses these attributes for customizing pages such as a portal page. OpenSSO Enterprise includes one implementation of the com.sun.identity.policy.interfaces.ResponseProvider interface, the IDResponseProvider. Custom response providers can be implemented.
