When creating a new realm or updating an existing one, users with the ADMIN role can access a section called Profile mappers.
The Profile mappers section allows ADMIN users to:
- Manage user accounts with JavaScript.
- Define mappings between user accounts on an authentication system (SSO), and user accounts on a Fluid Topics portal.
- Make HTTP requests to request, submit, or delete information from an external domain.
- Define a user's roles, groups, tags, and search preferences.
The script defined in the Profile mappers assistant drawer runs when a user logs on the portal.
Pressing Control + Space or Control + i displays inline help for the configuration assistant. Fluid Topics also automatically suggests available methods when entering a dot.
- When running the configuration assistant, it is necessary to have the email address of an existing user on hand.
- When configuring search preferences, defining a JavaScript function is the only mapping method available.
- To increase security when getting information from an external server, it is possible to configure client certificates for mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.
