Hi,

I have been able to understand how to write a custom login handler for Shibboleth (with lot of hiccups in getting xsd and configuration right :)) and now I am onto the attributes part. As I understood from the documentation DataConnectors are used to retrieve data from different sources but in my case user attributes are to be submitted by user using a web form i.e they are stored in some respository.

Do I have to write a DataConnector to do it ? I looked in the code how AttributeResolver is working and could not find a way to write a dataconnector which is capable of redirecting to a web page to collect attributes etc ?

Would really appreciate if you could guide me regarding this problem

Regards
Dharam
