Returning attributes as part of session attributes

My understanding is that any LDAP attribute can be returned as part of the session attributes defined in the AMagents.Properties file. Two questions:
1) if the attribute is already mapped in the profile attributes section, can the same LDAP attribute be mapped again with another mapping value?
e.g.
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[uid]=mapping1
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[uid]=mapping2
2) if the attribute is already mapped in the profile attributes section, can the same LDAP attribute be mapped again under the session attributes section of AMagent.Properties (assuming LDAP attributes are allowable for return as part of the session?)
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[uid]=mapping1
com.sun.identity.agents.config.session.attribute.mapping[uid]=mapping1
I've not had any success making either work once an attribute has been mapped once.

1) if the attribute is already mapped in the profile attributes section, can the same LDAP attribute be mapped again with another mapping value?
Yes you can, but i dont know why you would like to do that.
2) if the attribute is already mapped in the profile attributes section, can the same LDAP attribute be mapped again under the session attributes section of AMagent.Properties (assuming LDAP attributes are allowable for return as part of the session?)
Yes you can
You can also set them as a dynamic Response and even that should work.

  • How to set session attributes in a bean?

    How do I set a session attribute in a server-side bean?
    I'm not sure if I asked the question the right way. What I meant is, while it's easy to set session attributes in a JSP page (session.setAttribute("sessionname", "sessionvalue")), I'd want to set such an attribute within a server-side bean defined in this web application. But what is the syntax for doing it?

    Here a simple bean that stores something in the session and retrieves something from it.
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
    public class TestBean {
      private String value;
      public void doSomething(HttpSession session, int a, int b) {
        if (a+b > 0) {
          session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.TRUE);
        } else {
          session.setAttribute("ab",Boolean.FALSE);
      public void init(HttpSession session) {
        if (session != null) {
          Boolean b = (Boolean)session.getAttribute("ab");
          if (b == Boolean.TRUE) {
            value = "a + b is greater than zero";
          } else {
            value = "a + b is not greater than zero";
        } else {
          value = "no session";
      public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }In your JSP, use something along the lines of :
    <%
      TestBean bean = new TestBean();
      bean.init(session);
      bean.doSomething(session,1,2);
    %>If your bean only lives during one request, you can pass the session to the constructor, which stores it in a private variable. This saves passing the session each time.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to get from data entered on a form to a session attribute

    I have a jsp with a form with fields that are updated by the user.
    The values are in the fields value as I expected.
    Example. document.frm.Name.value = "Me"
    How do I populate a session variable with document.frm.Name.value?
    I think I have to do a request.getParameter("Name") followed by a
    session.SetAttribute. But the request.getParameter does not get populated with the latest value in document.frm.Name.value.
    Any idea is welcomed. Thanks

  • How to save the login ID as a session attribute ?

    I am using form-based authentication in a web application which is being deployed on a JBoss 3.2.3 server. I am authenticating against an Oracle database by way of a DatabaseServerLoginModule (JAAS).
    I would like to save the user's login ID as a session attribute in order to be able to use it later in the application.
    It's not obvious how you can capture this information and add it to the session, since it seems that the login ID is lost once the authentication is done by j_security_check process.
    Is there some way to tell the servlet container to save the login ID as a session attribute as part of the j_security_check process (something along the lines of "if the authentication succeeds add the login ID as an attribute to the session") ?
    Is there another approach ? What is the accepted "best practice" for doing session initialization after authentication ? For example if a user needs to have several attributes set in their session after login -- how is this handled ? I have done this before with a login servlet which did both the authentication and the session initialization, but when using form-based authentication and j_security_check it's not clear to me how you go from the authentication to the initialization logic.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insight.

    You should already have it... hidden in request.getUserPrincipal().getName()

  • How can I flag HTTP session attributes to not be replicated ?

              WLS 5.1 SP8 - In memory replication of a stateful servlet. Is
              there any way to flag data that has been, or is being, loaded into
              a HTTP session so as to not be replicated ? It's a long story,
              but we have some data loaded into a hashtable, more specifically
              a Properties object, stored in our session. With the hastable
              already loaded into the HTTP session, weblogic does not detect
              when we add values to the table, and therefore does not replicate
              the changes. Which is ok since WLS is working as designed. To
              get around this we load the hashtable back into the session everytime
              we add a value to the hashtable. Yup, I know that's ugly. Anyway,
              what I'm trying to find out if is there is an attribute that we
              can set to indicate, to not replicate this data or that data.
              Something along the lines of a attribute on a per hastable value
              basis. For example, I load value A into my hashtable, then I
              need to put my hashtable into the session to get it replicated.
              Next I load value B into the hastable, and again to get it replicated
              I have to load the entire hashtable back into the session. The
              problem here is that the entire table gets replciated. Does anyone
              know if I can set an attribute on value A, when I'm adding value
              B, so as to not replicate value A when I reload the table ? Of
              course all goal is to not store so much data in the session, but
              I'm trying to find a work around until that is completed.
              Thanks,
              David
              

              Where can I find documentation on the details of how Weblogic decides what will
              be replicated in the HTTPSession object (for example, it only replicates attributes
              which are set or updated using "setAttribute()"?

  • Session Attribute

    Hi,
    We have some problems with our portlet (deployed on portal 10g). We have two “applications”. One is outputting a menu with links to the other JSP that is redirecting the user.
    In the first application we set a session variable that needs to be read in the other JSP. But the redirecting script can’t read the session variable (session.getAttribute always returns null).
    And the funny thing is, we have an old version of these two scripts that are deployed and running on the same portal in the same OC4J (under different name) and they work properly.
    We checked all the settings we could think off, but we didn’t find anything.
    Regards,
    Gregor

    Hello Gregor,
    Here i have few quick thought that hit my mind..
    I am assuming you are developing JPDK portlet, right ?
    Just check out two settings,
    First:-
    While registering the provider, on the General Properties page we first write the web provider URL. Then on the same page, under User/Session Information section, make sure that Login Frequency must be selected as Always and Required Portal user specific session information must be checked.
    Click on Apply and OK.
    Second:-
    In the provider.xml the session attribute must be set to true.
    If you have already done the above steps, and still facing issues.
    please let me know, we will find some solution.
    Thanks

  • Session attributes

    I have a JSP page that calls itself multiple times and passes information back to itself using a vector passed as a session attribute. I am attempting to clear the attribute by using the removeAttribute() method and also calling the setAttribute() method and assigning an empty vector when the page is first called.
    If after populating the session attribute I move to another page ("page X") and then come back, the page appears to have cleared the attribute/vector, but when I submit the page unto itself again the attribute/vector appears with the new information that I just passed to it ALONG WITH the old information assigned from my initial call before going to "page X". I would like to clear the information if the page is called from a page other than itelf, but somehow the old information is still being saved in the session.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for your time.
    Matt

    Thanks for the help. I have pieced out the part of the page where I attempt to reset the vector. Hopefully it is not too out of context to make any sense.
    Assumptions:
    - daySelected is a form object in this page (used to determine if page is called by itself
    - workWeek is a vector of "workday" objects populated by this page
    Code below:
    if(request.getParameter("daySelected") != null){//page called by itself
    //retrieve the workweek object from the previous version of this page
    workWeek = (Vector) session.getAttribute("passedWorkWeek");
    //dayIndex = 0-6 (Sat-Fri)
    dayIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("daySelected"));
    if(request.getParameter("hourType").equals("In")){  //Time In
    input = request.getParameter("hourin").trim() +":"+
    request.getParameter("minuteIn").trim()+
    request.getParameter("AMPMin").trim();
    ((WorkDay) workWeek.elementAt(dayIndex)).setTimeInEntries
    (input);
    }else{//hourType="Out" = Time Away
    input = request.getParameter("outHours")+"."+
         request.getParameter("outFracHours") + " "+
         request.getParameter("outType").trim();
    ((WorkDay) workWeek.elementAt(dayIndex)).setTimeAwayEntries (input);                                              
    session.setAttribute("passedWorkWeek",workWeek);
    }else{//if page not called by itself or Clear Hours selected
    //clear any existing vector and session attribute
    workWeek.clear();
    session.removeAttribute("passedWorkWeek");
    //the above lines seem redundant as I am setting the attribute again, but nothing seems to work consistently
    //Create empty vector for workWeek
    for(int i=0; i<7; i++){
    workWeek.addElement(new WorkDay(weeksDates,"", "", ""));
    session.setAttribute("passedWorkWeek",workWeek);

  • Strange problem - session attribute

    Hi,
    This one is really strange. I have a search field on my form. When I enter a value in the field(say 'test data') and then click 'Submit', the search is performed. To retain the above search value on the screen, I put it into a session attribute and then pick it up again from there.
    The problem is, when the screen reloads after the search, only the first part of the string i.e 'test' is displayed and data disappears. Is it that when get values of session attributes in a JSP, only the value till an empty space is considered?
    I would be grateful if someone could let me know if they have ever experienced the same of if there is any documentation stating this. I am totally lost!
    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings,
    Could you please include some of your code. It seems like somewhere along the process you are either losing or not storing all the data properly.
    Thanks,

  • Javascript to JSP question...Can javascript function set session attributes

    hello,
    i have a web app that, on one of its pages, displays "tabbed pane" as an image map at the top (a la amazon.com). my problem is this: each "logical" page contains separate forms that all use the same javabean. in other words, imagine that the tabs represent an account maintenance web ui for an on-line record store. the first tab might be labeled "General," the second "Contact info," the third "Shipping Info." Each uses the same account bean and displays portions of its properties relevant to the tab at hand. what i want to do is allow a user to enter the account maintenance ui, update info on the first tab, click on tab two and have the request with the changes sent to a processing jsp. yet, since each "tab" is actually a separate URL to another page, how do i get the updated info on the first tabe without adding some sort of "SAVE" button on each tab. ive considered using javascript, but dont know how to get the request params out of the first tab whn i click on another tab. is it possible to include an "onClick" function in each URL that "grabs" the updated form fields off the preceeding tab? can a javacript function set session attributes in jsp?

    hello there,
    wow, you've created one big mammy-jammy tool.
    first, javascript cannot access, set values to the session, without having to post to another JSP. javascript is great for manipulating objects, layers, form values, etc.
    you have 2 issues [if i understand correctly]:
    1) you need to able to save user info for a specific tab without having to reloading the page.
    ---you can create a form for EACH of your tabs and POST all the information to a hidden IFRAME or LAYER for NN4. that hidden IFRAME / LAYER will load a JSP page which with all the parameters you posted to it. or you can build a FRAMESET and target that document["frame-name"].src with that same JSP.
    2) handling when the SAVE INFO action should happen: hence some javascript event handler: onMouseOver, onClick, etc
    ---i don't know the dynamics of your tabs, but if store which tab was clicked on last, then if the user clicks on some other tab, javascript can submit that FORM to a JSP [see condition above]
    you have an interesting tool. can i see?
    i hope i wasn't too confusing, but your problem is sooo interesting. =)

  • Problem removing session attributes

    I have a problem removing session attributes
    I try w/ mysession.removeAttribute("key");
    but it still lives in memory. I've tried setAttribute("key", null) as the API states that will do the same thing, but it doesn't work.
    I can get mysession.invalidate() to work, but I want to keep some of the attributes there, while removing another.
    I get no exceptions and no errors.
    Help.
    Running Tomcat 4
    jre 1.3.1

    Actually,
    response.addHeader("Expires", "-1");should be enough.
    The browser should then contact the Web server for updates to that page via a conditional If-Modified-Since request. You don't want a cache disabling 'overkill', since you'd still want the page to remain in the disk cache and used in appropriate situations without contacting the remote Web server, such as when the BACK and FORWARD buttons are pressed...
    Anyway, try this first, and if it doesn't solve your problem, add the other cache-disabling headers, as outlined in the previous post.
    If you're using JSP, verify also that your page has
    <%@ page session="true"%>

  • Variable coming from a session attribute

    Hello, I am developing a web application with JDeveloper 10g
    I've got a View Object which is basically a query, where I use a variable:
    WHERE BbCustomerOrderStatusTab.CUSTNO = :CustomerNumber
    When I define CustomerNumber in a form, it works:
    <af:panelForm>
    <af:inputText value="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.inputValue}"
    label="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.label}"
    required="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.mandatory}"
    columns="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.displayWidth}">
    <af:validator binding="#{bindings.CustomerNumber.validator}"/>
    </af:inputText>
    <af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams.execute}"
    text="ExecuteWithParams"
    disabled="#{!bindings.ExecuteWithParams.enabled}"/>
    </af:panelForm>
    But I would like CustomerNumber to come from a session attribute. I tried something like that:
    session.setAttribute("CustomNum","IRI0001");
    setCustomerNumber(session.getAttribute("CustomNum"));
    with the View Object Editor -> Client Interface setCustomerNumber selected, but it doesn't work.
    I tried :
    String CustNum=session.getAttribute("CustomNum");
    %>
    <af:attribute name="#{bindings.CustomerNumber}"
    value="<%= CustNum%>"/>
    but it tells me that "Attribute value does not accept runtime expressions".
    Does someone know how I could do that?
    Thanks,
    Romain

    Hi,
    Frank's suggestion should work.
    Most importantly, don't forget to declare your bind variable in your view object !!
    Your statement looks odd to me
    String CustNum=session.getAttribute("CustomNum");
    %>
    <af:attribute name="#{bindings.CustomerNumber}"
    value="<%= CustNum%>"/>
    There are many ways to do it. You may try using backing bean for command button's actionlistener or action like the following
    class myBackingBean
    private String CustNum; //of course with getter and setter method
    myButtonAction() {
    CustNum = yourFavouriteValue;
    OperationBinding ob = getBindings().getOperationBinding("ExecuteWithParams"};
    ob.execute();
    note you must declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{yourBackBeanClass.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding
    I don't know and seems not being recommended to set session value in jspx.
    Another way is inside your command button in the jspx
    <af:setActionListener from="#{somesource.value}"
    to="#{processScope.CustNum}"/>
    in such case, you must declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{processScope.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding
    If you have already set session value somewhere beforehand, then what you need to do is simply declare CustomValue in your pageDef's binding to #{sessionScope.CustNum} in your ExecuteWithParams binding.
    I did lot of ExecuteWithParams thing and no problems occur so far.

  • Unable set session attribute with certain types.

    Hello I was surprise that when I execute HttpSession.setAttribute("somekey", new HashMap()), "somekey" will not be stored in the Session. I can replace HashMap with HashSet and it's okay.
              Out of curiosity, I create a Java class like below :
              public class abc implements Serializable {
              public String def = "def";
              And I have the same issue with HashMap and it will not get stored in the Session attribute. Does anyone know what kind of valid object and what makes the object storable into the Session's attribute? Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks.
              yien

    Actually never mind. It have something to do with BEA's Portal Ad services. I will post this into the appropriate forum.

  • XMLTABLE function not returning any values if xml has attribute "xmlns"

  • Setting session attributes at the Role level

    I am running AM7.1 in Legacy mode and I am trying to create a role and assign session attributes at this role level. I followed the instructions for doing this but it does not seem to be working. I created the role and added the session service to it. I then went in an changed the attributes (Max Idle, Max Session, etc.) to the values I need for the role. I then assigned the role to a user. However when I log in as this user and look at the Active Sessions panel all of the values are still saying they are set at the defaults. It is not picking up the new values for the user. Am I missing something? Help! -Jeff

    Reply i was also getting this problem in relam mode but 7.0..........but when i specify in the url?role=rolename..........i see the session info applied but i wanted it to be dyanmically applied(without specifiying the role in the url).......i have raised an SR but that is for 7.0 .........please do it for 7.1 i think you might get some response.
