The SiteMinder Policy Server calls SmDirGetUserAttr() so that you can retrieve the value for a user attribute in your custom directory. For example, you may need to retrieve the last name of a user.
SiteMinder calls SmDirFreeString() to free the lpszAttrData buffer.
Syntax
int SM_EXTERN SmDirGetUserAttr ( const Sm_Api_Context_t* lpApiContext, void* pHandle, void* pInstanceHandle, const char* lpszUserDN, const char* lpszAttrName, char** lpszAttrData );
