Hi Glenn,
Quoted from:

Once the XML file has been configured and uploaded, the developer has access to any of the attributes configured in the file. You can use the getAttribute() method on the user object to access the special attributes. The method requires two parameters: a Namespace, and the Attribute Name. The namespace is used provide additional flexibility in complex user management configurations. The standard namespace is “com.sap.security.core.usermanagement”. However, you can obtain a list of namespaces associated with the user by calling getAttributeNamespaces() on the user object.
response.write("<br>Attributes: ");
String namespaces[] = user.getAttributeNamespaces();
String ns = null;
for (int i = 0; i < namespaces.length; i++) {
    if (i > 0)
        ns = namespaces[ i ];
    String attrNames[] = user.getAttributeNames(ns);
    if (ns != null)
        response.write("<br>NS: " + ns);
    for (int j = 0; j < attrNames.length; j++) {
        Object attr[] = user.getAttribute(ns, attrNames[j]);
        response.write("<br>" + attrNames[j] + " = ");
        for (int k = 0; k < attr.length; k++)
            response.write(attr[0].toString() + ", ");
Hope that helps,
Yoav.
