eai-xattrs-header

Specify the HTTP headers in the response from the external authentication interface (EAI) server that contain authentication data. WebSEAL uses these headers to add extended attributes to the credential.

eai-xattrs-header = header-name[,header-name...]

Description

Specifies a comma-delimited list of header names. WebSEAL examines the response for headers with the specified names and creates extended attributes using the name of the header as the attribute name and the value of the header as the attribute value. For example, if the following headers are returned in the HTTP response:

am-eai-xattrs: creditcardexpiry, streetaddress
creditcardexpiry: 090812
streetaddress: 555 homewood lane

WebSEAL will:

1. Examine the am-eai-xattrs header
2. Detect two headers to look for in the response
3. Find those headers and their values
4. Add the two specified attributes to the credential

Options

header-name[,header-name...]

One or more (comma delimited) header names that are added to the credential as extended attributes.

Usage: This stanza entry is optional.
