Overview

The Static data connector allows the generation of one or more fixed IdPAttribute objects from a statically-defined configuration.

...

It's also occasionally useful for passing statically-defined data to recalcitrant vendors operating badly broken SPs.

Description

<Attribute>

1 or more

Each element defines an IdPAttribute to generate. Note that this is not the same as a <saml:Attribute> element found in other areas of the configuration, but a custom element specific to the resolver.

Each element MUST contain an XML Attribute named id that specifies the name of the IdPAttribute to generate. It MUST also contain one or more nested <Value> elements. The text content of the <Value> elements provide the string values of the attribute being generated.

None of the common elements typical of DataConnectorConfiguration are supported, as this connector has neither dependencies nor failover (since it cannot fail).

...

The Static Data Connector can be configured in native Spring XML via the springResources or springResourcesRef attributes.

...

Example Spring configuration : conf/attribute-resolver.xml
Code Block
collapselanguagetruexml
<DataConnector id="staticAttributesSpring" xsi:type="Static"
	springResources="${idp.home}/conf/staticAttributesSpring.xml"/>

The Spring Resource must provide a bean of type Collection<IdPAttribute> populated via Collection<IdPAttributeValue>.
