Increase the size of the MaxUserAttributeLength Setting

Increase the size of the MaxUserAttributeLength setting in your Policy Server if you are creating group-based virtual attribute mappings. In Active Directory servers, the SiteMinder claims provider binds the group name to its associated domain. If the names of the associated domains are too long to fit in the window, the claims provider truncates them. To avoid this truncation, increase the size of the MaxUserAttributeLength setting in your Policy Server.

follow these steps:

1. Open the following file on your Policy Server:

   policy_server_home\config\properties\wsfed.properties 
   

2. Locate the following line:

   com.netegrity.assertiongenerator.wsfed.MaxUserAttributeLength=1024
   

3. Change the value 1024 (at the end of the line) to a larger number. We recommend using multiples of 1024.

   The size of the MaxUserAttributeLength setting is increased.
