There are two types of attributes: session attributes and user attributes. Both types can be used to personalize web forwards or to configure single sign-on authentication.
Session attributes
The following Session attributes are available:
${session:username}– This session attribute contains the username used to log into the SSL VPN.${session:password}– This session attribute contains the password used to log into the SSL VPN.
User attributes
You can create user attributes that are filled in by the end user in the web portal or CudaLaunch. User attributes are used when different usernames or personalized variables are needed. To enter a user attribute in the web forward configuration, use the following format:
${user:user_attribute_name}
