Configure a Response Attribute that Contain Variables

A response may contain one or more response attributes whose values are determined by variable objects.

Note: When you create or modify a Policy Server object in the Policy Server User Interface, use ASCII characters. Object creation or modification with non-ASCII characters is not supported.

To configure a response attribute that contains a variable

1. Follow the instructions in Configure a Response to create a response.
2. In the SiteMinder Response dialog, make sure the SiteMinder radio button is selected in the Agent Type group box and Web Agent is selected in the drop-down list.
3. Click Create.

   The SiteMinder Response Attribute Editor dialog opens. The Attribute Kind group box contains a Variable Definition radio button.

4. From the Attribute drop-down list, select a type of response attribute.
5. In the Attribute Kind group box, select the Variable Definition radio button.
6. In the Attribute Fields groups box, enter a name in the Variable Name field.

   This name will be used to identify the response attribute.

7. In the Variable field, enter the name of the variable object that will be evaluated to provide the value for the response attribute, or click the Lookup button to open a dialog where you can select an existing variable object.

   If you click the Lookup button, the SiteMinder Variable Lookup dialog opens.

8. Click OK to save your changes and close the Response Attribute dialog.
