User Attributes Overview
In Cloud Secure Edge, user attribute variables are used to specify resources (e.g., domain names) in cases where these resources follow a clear naming convention. Cloud Secure Edge uses two kinds of variables: Server Name Indication (SNI) Network Attributes and User Attributes.
Server Name Indication (SNI) Network Attributes
These are TLS extensions which identify an individual domain within a multi-domain service that a client needs to connect to. The values exist in the network packets transmitted.
| Variable | Example |
|---|---|
.Name |
Hostname - www for URL www.microsoft.com |
.Domain |
Second level (or nth) domain name - microsoft.com for URL www.microsoft.com |
.Parts |
index .Parts n |
User Attributes
These attributes are obtained from your Identity Provider. Currently, only the email attribute, as its individual parts, is accessible as a variable.
| Variable | Example |
|---|---|
.Email.User |
Local part of the email address; e.g., alanak from email address alanak@contoso.com |
.Email.Domain |
Domain part of the email address; e.g., contoso.com from email address alanak@contoso.com |
