When a service providers requires the user information, the mechanism to publish the user attributes is a two step process:

    1. The attribute values are computed based on the attributes value expression.
    2. The policies are evaluated to guess which attributes and attribute values can be disclosed for the requesting service provider.

This mechanism is triggered when:

      • The user is authenticated and a SAML assertion with attributes statements is being sent to the service provider (SSO Profile).
      • The service provider queries the user attributes using the SAML AttributeQueryProfile.
      • the user is authenticated and a OpenIDConnect token is generated, as the OpenIDConnect token contains all the user attributes.
      • The service provider queries the user attributes using the OpenIDConnect user-info endpoint.
