Accessing Organizational Unit info of Portal User

Question

Hi Experts,
Using UME API I can access almost all data of a portal user, but I couldn't find how to access the "Organizational Unit" data of a user. This information is under the "Additional Information" TAB for NW04s.
If anyone faced this issue, plase let me know how to do that.
regards

HUSEYIN,
Most probably it's accessible only via generic UME IPrincipal API:
userObj.getAttribute(namespace, attrName);
To find out all possible namespaces/attributes use the following:
final StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
final String[] namespaces = userObj.getAttributeNamespaces();
for (int i = 0, c = namespaces.length; i < c; i++) {
  final String ns = namespaces<i>;
  final String[] attributes = userObj.getAttributeNames(ns);
  for (int j = 0; k = attributes.length; j < k; j++)
    result.append(ns).append(':').append(attributes[j]).append('n');
Then analyze output of result.toString() and try to find out what attribute represents OU.
