Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for IBM WebSphere Portal Server 5.1.0.2

Fetching Attributes as HTTP Headers

When the agent is configured to provide the LDAP attributes as HTTP headers, these attributes can be retrieved using the following methods on the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest interface:

long getDateHeader(java.lang.String name)

java.lang.String getHeader(java.lang.String name)

java.util.Enumeration getHeaderNames()

java.util.Enumeration getHeaders(java.lang.String name)

int getIntHeader(java.lang.String name)

The property that controls the parsing of a date value from an appropriate string as set in the LDAP attribute is the following:

com.sun.identity.agents.config.attribute.date.format

This property defaults to the value EEE, d MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss z and should be changed as necessary.

Multi-valued attributes can be retrieved as an instance of java.util.Enumeration from the following method:

java.util.Enumeration getHeaders(java.lang.String name)
