User Attributes

First Time User Logins

The following three attributes are commonly used within uPortal and Apereo portlets:

  • uid
  • username
  • user.login.id

The default (starting) configuration will provide these attributes for all users through the uPortalJdbcUserSource bean. This bean, however, only recognizes users who have logged into the portal at least once or who have been imported via Import/Export. It is very important to map these same 3 attributes to an external source, such as LDAP or SAML.
