Do you allow the customer to specify attribute mappings for any needed information beyond a user identifier? (e.g., Reference eduPerson, ePPA/ePPN/ePE)
Explanation
Example Responses
Example Response 1
Yes, our platform provides comprehensive support for custom attribute mappings Customers can configure mappings for any attributes provided by their identity provider beyond the basic user identifier We support standard schemas including eduPerson attributes (eduPersonPrincipalName, eduPersonAffiliation, etc.) as well as custom attributes Administrators can configure these mappings through our SSO configuration interface or via our API This allows institutions to map attributes like department, role, title, and organizational unit to the corresponding fields in our system, enabling fine-grained access control and personalization.
Example Response 2
Yes, we support flexible attribute mapping capabilities through our Identity Provider Configuration Console Customers can map standard attributes (like name, email) as well as custom attributes specific to their organization For educational institutions, we explicitly support eduPerson schema attributes including ePPN, ePE, and ePAffiliation Our system allows for both one-to-one mappings (e.g., eduPersonPrincipalName → username) and transformation rules (e.g., combining firstName+lastName attributes into a displayName field) These mappings can be configured during initial SSO setup and modified at any time by authorized administrators.
Example Response 3
No, our current implementation only supports basic attribute mapping We require a unique user identifier (typically email address) and can optionally consume first name and last name attributes if provided by the identity provider We do not currently support mapping of extended attributes like those in the eduPerson schema or custom organizational attributes While we recognize this limitation may impact some integration scenarios, we've found that most of our customers' needs are met with our current implementation We have plans to expand our attribute mapping capabilities in our next major release scheduled for Q3 of this year.
