Logical Attributes Handlers

CA IdentityMinder logical attributes let you display attributes of user store (named physical attributes) in a user-friendly format on task screens. CA IdentityMinder administrators use task screens to perform functions in CA IdentityMinder.

Logical attributes do not exist in a user store. Typically, they represent one or more physical attributes to simplify presentation. For example, the logical attribute date can represent the physical attributes month, day, and year.

Logical attributes are processed by the Logical attribute which are Java objects that are written using the Logical Attribute API. For example, when a task screen is displayed, a logical attribute handler might convert a physical attribute data from the user store to logical attribute data.

You can use predefined logical attributes and the logical attribute handlers included with CA IdentityMinder or can create new ones using the Logical Attribute API.
