PartyAttributes

[This is prerelease documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

PartyAttributes provide a convenient way to represent aspects of Parties that are not used in searches. They provide a way to extend the directory by adding sets of properties to be returned as a group after a look-up based on a relationship or Identity Keys (for example, the configuration of a DNS component).

PartyAttributes are either schematized in XML or are an un-schematized blob. They have a Kinds, and the schema allows multiple PartyAttributes of one Kind to be associated with one Party.
