Common HashMap Response Structure

Both Authentication responses returned in the SiteMinder Principal and authorization responses returned in an HTTP request attribute are in the form of a Java HashMap data structure.

The keys in the HashMap denote the attribute IDs returned from the SiteMinder Agent API, and the values in the HashMap are a list of all the values binding to that key.

For example, if the Policy Server returns two HTTP header responses HEADER1=VALUE1 and HEADER2=VALUE2 during an authorization request, the HashMap will contain a key (Agent API constant denoting that it is a header response) and a value of List with two elements, that is, HEADER1=VALUE1 and HEADER2=VALUE2.
