Map Incoming User Attributes to User Session Attributes

  1. Select Authentication » Providers in the workspace of your choice.

  2. Select an available IDP.

  3. Select Mappings from the top menu.

  4. Configure each source-target attributes pair so that a source attribute matches a target one.

    1. Select a source IDP attribute name from the drop-down list.

      Note

      • If the source attribute is not defined out of the box (for example when the IDP provides a custom attribute, such as crm_id), you need to add this attribute to the IDP before you can map it.
      • To add an attribute for your identity, go to Identity Data > Identities (left sidebar) > Identity (from the IDP list) > Attributes tab > Add attribute.

    2. Select a target authentication context attribute from the drop-down list.

    3. Select Save mappings. Your mappings are added to the list.
