SET Function--Set the Value of an Attribute

The SET function assigns a specified value to a specified attribute. Multiple values are specified for multi-valued attributes by a set. This function works for all User Directories supported by SiteMinder.

The SET function returns TRUE if SiteMinder returns success on the modification.

If the attribute is not visible to SiteMinder, the function fails. The attribute may not be visible due to security reasons (security in the User Directory) or, in the case of ODBC directories, because it is not in the configured Query or not an attribute listed in the Set Properties setting of the SiteMinder Query Scheme.

Syntax

The SET function has the following format:

SET(attr_name, value)

Parameters

The SET function accepts the following parameters:

attr_name (string)

value (string)

Specifies one or more values. Multiple values are separated by the caret character.

Return Value

The SET function returns a Boolean.

Remarks
