This exercise is also an introduction to the developer tools included in uPortal for lightweight inspection of user attributes.
Step 1: Log in as admin and notice the default admin user attributes
Log in as the user "admin", which by default has password "admin". (Conveniently, even if you've completed the exercise to change the CAS configuration, admin's password will still be "admin").
...
Note that by default there's no user attribute "email".
Step 2: Edit the personDirectoryContext.xml
Edit personDirectoryContext.xml, adding to it an additional mapping for the email attribute.
...
Likewise, the personDirectoryContext.xml with the described change is attached (or included in an "after" folder alongside this PDF if you're reading this as a PDF in the context of the seminar), so if you'd like to proceed straight to the solution rather than bother with pasting bits of XML, feel free to copy that "after" personDirectoryContext.xml file into place.

Step 3: Be sure your portal is stopped
Step 4: Run the Ant deploy-war to deploy the modified uPortal

cd /up31seminar/uPortal-3.1.0-M2-quick-start/uPortal-3.1.0-M2 ../ant.sh deploy-war |
Step 5: Start the portal again
After you wait for uPortal to start up, you can see it in your web browser at
http://localhost:8080/uPortal/
Step 6: Try it out
When you log in as admin, you should now see the user attribute "email" available in addition to the attribute "mail" that was previously available.
