mapName

public SAMLNameMapperInfo mapName(String name,
                                  ContextHandler handler)

                                     ContextHandler handler)

Maps a Subject to a set of values used to construct a SAML NameIdentifier element for a SAML assertion. The returned SAMLNameMapperInfo may optionally include a Collection of group names, which will be used to construct a SAML AttributeStatement containing a WLSGroups attribute.

Parameters:

subject - The Subject that should be mapped.

handler - The ContextHandler passed to the SAML Credential Mapper.

Returns:

A SAMLNameMapperInfo containing user and group information, or null if no mapping is made.
