Fetch user attributes
Web Agent can fetch user attributes and inject them into HTTP request headers and cookies, and pass them on to the protected client applications. The client applications can then personalize content using these attributes in their web pages or responses.
Use the following properties to configure fetching user attributes:
The Mode properties let you choose whether to map attributes to HTTP headers or HTTP
cookies. The Map properties let you configure which attribute maps to which header or cookie.
When injecting information into HTTP headers, don’t use underscores
(_) in the header name. Underscores are incompatible with some web servers and the header can be silently dropped.

The agent securely fetches the user and session data from the authenticated user, as well as policy response attributes.
For example, you can have a web page that addresses the user by name retrieved from the user profile, for example "Welcome Your-Name!". AM populates part of the request (header, form data) with the CN from the user profile, and the website consumes and displays it.
