When the Web forward is configured the attributes are added to the authentication parameters.
When the Web forward is finally executed the supportId and supportPassword attributes are submitted
during authentication into the Web Site. The FORM object takes the supportId and identifies the
username then takes the supportPassword as the associated password.
Instantly any user is able to access the support Web Site using their credentials and this single Web
forward.
Types of Attributes
The examples above all show the use of the user attribute where the attribute is assigned through the
${attr:attributeName} command. There is also another attribute type called policy attribute.
Unlike the user attribute which is assigned to each user this is assigned to a policy and is referenced by
the ${policyAttributes:vncHostname} variable.
Policy attributes once set are set for all users under the assigned policy. So a resource can be executed
under a different policy and have a different value for each policy.

• Visibility: Whether the attribute can be managed by user or the administrator or both
