User Attribute Handler
The User Attribute Handler is a profile selection handler used to select a profile for a user.
The handler selects the profile by matching a configurable user attribute (for example, a user's jobTitle attribute) against profile external segment associations, set in the advanced section of the profile editor for an individual profile. For matching purposes, this handler class uses the webAppAccess.getUserInfo().getUserAttribute(attrName) method to determine the value of the configured attribute for the specified user, and then to lookup profiles with a matching external segment association. The definition file for this handler is in stored in the following location.
J2EERoot/WEB-INF/conf/selection_handlers/userattributehandler.xml.The userAttribute property value specifies the name of the user attribute to use for profile selection.<Property name="userAttribute">jobTitle</Property>If you have a need to do profile selection for different profile sets based on different user attributes (for example, jobTitle versus department), you may make a copy of the userattributehandler.xml config file, give it a new filename, a new name attribute for the <Handler> configuration element, and the alternate user attribute name.
