Creating users with supplier, buyer, job code info.

Question

I am writing a java app to create users in oracle apps.I am using apps api package fnd_user_pkg to create users,update users,add responsibilities.
I need to add some extra attributes e.g. supplier, buyer, planner, job code info while creating a user.Is there any api package like fnd_user_pkg which can be used to update tables with above info? or should i update the tables directly?

Thanks for the reply.  I was actually hoping the I-Chain/EDirectory variables would be available as CGI variables.  Here are some of the CGI variables I tried to retrieve from the header.  As you can see, only two contained values.  There must be some other way to obtain these.  I'd played around with CFLDAP, CFHTTP, etc.  No such luck.  But as mentioned, the IS dept says the values I'm looking for (UserID, Name, Location, etc.) are all being sent in every header (every response from the server).  Am just not sure which CF tags/tools to use to capture them.  Maybe it requires some special script.  I tried a few of those found in the CF7 on-line help, but no luck in getting the scripts to run.  If any other thoughts or suggestions, they would be much appreciated.  Thanks again, Gary1.
