Attribute mappings

Select an attribute to set or to modify the mapping for the user or group attribute of a user registry to a federated repository property, and then click Edit.

Attribute: Specifies the name of the user registry attribute.
Property for Input: Specifies the name of the federated repository property that maps to the specified user registry attribute when it is an input parameter for the user registry interface.
For example, to set the type of attribute that is used for the userSecurityName parameter in the UserRegistry call, String getUniqueUserId(String userSecurityName), configure the input mapping (Property for Input) on the userSecurityName attribute. The default mapping value for userSecurityName is principalName.
Property for Output: Specifies the name of the federated repository property that maps to the specified user registry attribute when it is an output parameter (return value) for the user registry interface. In most cases, the propertyForInput and propertyForOutput would be the same.
For example, to set the type of attribute that is used for the return type (the unique user ID) in the UserRegistry call, String getUniqueUserId(String userSecurityName), configure the output mapping on the uniqueUserId call. The default mapping value is uniqueName.
