Detailed Description

A resolved attribute.

Resolved attributes are a neutral construct that represent both simple and complex attribute data structures that might be found in SAML assertions or obtained from other sources.

Attributes consist of an id/name that is locally unique (that is, unique to a configuration at any given point in time) and zero or more values. Values can be of any type or structure, but will generally be made available to applications only if a serialized string form exists. More complex values can be used with access control plugins and other components that understand them, however.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

shibsp::Attribute::Attribute (  const std::vector< std::string > &  ids  )  [protected]

Constructor. Parameters: ids  array with primary identifier in first position, followed by any aliases

shibsp::Attribute::Attribute (  DDF &  in  )  [protected]

Constructs based on a remoted Attribute. This allows Attribute objects to be recreated after marshalling. The DDF supplied must be a struct containing a single list member named with the Attribute's "id" and containing the values. Parameters: in  input object containing marshalled Attribute

Member Function Documentation

static void shibsp::Attribute::deregisterFactory (  const char *  type  )  [static]

Deregisters an AttributeFactory function for a given attribute "type". Parameters: type  string used at the root of remoted Attribute structures

std::vector<std::string>& shibsp::Attribute::getAliases (   )

Returns all of the effective names for the Attribute. Returns: mutable array of identifiers, with the primary ID in the first position

const std::vector<std::string>& shibsp::Attribute::getAliases (   )  const

Returns all of the effective names for the Attribute. Returns: immutable array of identifiers, with the primary ID in the first position

const char* shibsp::Attribute::getId (   )  const

Returns the Attribute identifier. Returns: the Attribute identifier

virtual const char* shibsp::Attribute::getScope (  size_t  index  )  const [virtual]

Gets the "scope" of the value at the specified position (starting from zero). Parameters: index  position of value Returns: the specified value's "scope", or nullptr if attribute is unscoped Reimplemented in shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, and shibsp::ScopedAttribute.

virtual const std::vector<std::string>& shibsp::Attribute::getSerializedValues (   )  const [virtual]

Returns serialized Attribute values encoded as UTF-8 strings. Returns: an immutable vector of values Reimplemented in shibsp::BinaryAttribute, shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, shibsp::ScopedAttribute, and shibsp::XMLAttribute.

virtual const char* shibsp::Attribute::getString (  size_t  index  )  const [virtual]

Gets the string equivalent of the value at the specified position (starting from zero). Parameters: index  position of value Returns: the specified value in its "string" form, or nullptr if undefined Reimplemented in shibsp::BinaryAttribute, shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, shibsp::ScopedAttribute, and shibsp::XMLAttribute.

bool shibsp::Attribute::isCaseSensitive (   )  const

Indicates whether case sensitivity should apply to basic value comparisons. Returns: true iff value comparisons should be case sensitive

bool shibsp::Attribute::isInternal (   )  const

Indicates whether the attribute should be exported for CGI use. Returns: true iff the attribute should NOT be exported

virtual DDF shibsp::Attribute::marshall (   )  const [virtual]

Marshalls an Attribute for remoting. This allows Attribute objects to be communicated across process boundaries without excess XML parsing. The DDF returned must be a struct containing a single list member named with the Attribute's "id". The name of the struct should contain the registered name of the Attribute implementation. Reimplemented in shibsp::BinaryAttribute, shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, shibsp::ScopedAttribute, shibsp::SimpleAttribute, and shibsp::XMLAttribute.

static void shibsp::Attribute::registerFactory (  const char *  type, AttributeFactory *  factory )  [static]

Registers an AttributeFactory function for a given attribute "type". Parameters: type  string used at the root of remoted Attribute structures factory  factory function

virtual void shibsp::Attribute::removeValue (  size_t  index  )  [virtual]

Removes the value at the specified position (starting from zero). Parameters: index  position of value to remove Reimplemented in shibsp::BinaryAttribute, shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, shibsp::ScopedAttribute, and shibsp::XMLAttribute.

void shibsp::Attribute::setCaseSensitive (  bool  caseSensitive  )

Sets whether case sensitivity should apply to basic value comparisons. Parameters: caseSensitive  true iff value comparisons should be case sensitive

void shibsp::Attribute::setInternal (  bool  internal  )

Sets whether the attribute should be exported for CGI use. Parameters: internal  true iff the attribute should NOT be exported

static Attribute* shibsp::Attribute::unmarshall (  DDF &  in  )  [static]

Unmarshalls a remoted Attribute. Parameters: in  remoted Attribute data Returns: a resolved Attribute of the proper subclass

virtual size_t shibsp::Attribute::valueCount (   )  const [virtual]

Returns the number of values. Returns: number of values Reimplemented in shibsp::BinaryAttribute, shibsp::ExtensibleAttribute, shibsp::NameIDAttribute, shibsp::ScopedAttribute, and shibsp::XMLAttribute.

Member Data Documentation

std::vector<std::string> shibsp::Attribute::m_serialized [mutable, protected]

Maintains a copy of serialized attribute values, when possible. Implementations should maintain the array when values are added or removed.
