SiteAttributeMapper and PartnerSiteAttributeMapper Interfaces

SiteAttributeMapper and PartnerSiteAttributeMapper are interfaces that need 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 Access Manager 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 one of these mappers. This class would be used to obtain attributes, create the attribute statement, and insert the statement inside the assertion. Either SPI can be implemented although PartnerSiteAttributeMapper has one benefit over SiteAttributeMapper: there is an additional targetURL parameter that enables the partner to include different sets of attributes to target different applications.

The default behavior is that no attribute statements are returned unless specified by the plug-in.
