[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: Adding new attribute for a user.

Benson: your answer depends a bit on your usage scenario. If you're using the identity module for your security implementation, you can map user profile attributes to LDAP attributes or database columns in: PS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/conf/identity/profile-config.xml You can then access these directly in your portlet views: ${requestScope['javax.portlet.userinfo']['user.name.given']} By adding them to your portlet.xml: <user-attribute> | <description>User Given Name</description> | <name>user.name.given</name> | </user-attribute> View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4222630#...
