User Information

This page allows you to send user information from an external source to objects associated with this Web Service. This information can be either imported into the portal database or generated dynamically (with custom code) when a user logs in.

You use profile sources to import user information into the portal from an external user repository, and you use the User Information Property Map to map that imported information to user properties in the portal. Objects associated with Web Services can use the imported information instead of having users enter this information on a separate preference page.

To send imported or dynamically generated user information to the objects associated with this Web Service:

1. If you want to send information mapped to user properties by default, under User Information Settings, check the associated boxes.

Note: The Host Page URL Query String settings sends the actual query string of the My Page or community that a user hits. Select this if you have custom code that requires the actual string (which can include extra query string parameters) rather than the simplified host page URL.

1. If you want to send other user information, under Additional User Info Settings, perform any of the following actions:

• To send mapped user information, click Add User Properties, select the properties, and click OK.

• To send unmapped user information, click Add User Info and type the name of a user property in the field. Repeat the process to add more property names.

• To delete user information, select the setting you want to delete and click .

• To select or clear all of the settings check boxes, select or clear the box to the left of User Info.

2. Set up the portal to import the correct options. For instructions, refer to the Installation Guide for Plumtree Foundation.
