Use the listArcotAttributesRequest elements to fetch the user attributes.
Use listArcotAttributesRequest message and construct the input message by using the details obtained in preceding step.
Invoke the listArcotAttributes operation of the ArcorUserRegistryMgmtSvc service to fetch the user attributes supported by AuthMinder database.
This operation returns the listArcotAttributesResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user attributes. See the following section for more information on the response message.

Interpreting the Response Message

The response message, listArcotAttributesResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the AuthMinder attributes for a successful transaction and the fault response for an error condition.

The following table provides more information about the elements returned for a successful transaction. See appendix, "Error Codes" if there are any errors.
