Overview

The Copy/Modify Attributes filter copies the values of message or user attributes to other message or user attributes. You can also set the value of a message or user attribute to a user-specified value.

Configuration

The table lists the configured attribute-copying rules. To add a new rule, click the Add button and enter values in the dialog to copy a message or user attribute to a different message or user attribute. The From attribute represents the source attribute, while the To attribute represents the destination attribute.

The attribute value can be copied from three possible sources:

  • Message:

    Select this option to copy the value of a message attribute. Enter the name of the source attribute in the Name field.

  • User:

    Select this option should to copy a user attribute stored in the attribute.lookup.list. Enter the name (and namespace if the attribute was extracted from a SAML attribute assertion) of the user attribute in the Name and Namespace fields.

    If there are multiple values stored in the attribute.lookup.list for the attribute entered in the Name field, only the first value is copied.

  • User entered value:

    Select this option to copy a user-specified value to an attribute. Enter the new attribute value in the Value field. You can enter a selector to represent the value of a message attribute instead of entering a specific value directly. The syntax for entering message attribute selectors is as follows:

    ${authentication.subject.id}

    In this case the value of the authentication.subject.id attribute is copied to the named attribute.

The message can be copied to one of the following types of attributes:

  • Message:

    The attribute can be copied to any message attribute. Enter the name of the attribute in the Name field.

  • User:

    Select this option if the attribute or value should be copied to a user attribute stored in the attribute.lookup.list. Specify the name and namespace (if necessary) of this attribute in the Name and Namespace fields.

    If there are multiple values stored in the attribute.lookup.list for the attribute entered in the Name field of the From attribute section, the attribute value will be copied to the first occurrence of the attribute name in list.

Select the Create list attribute check box if the new attribute can contain several items.
