titleHow to retrieve Shibboleth attributes in application

By default, Shibboleth attributes that released to your shibboleth SP are available to your application as server variables, not available in HTTP headers. But not all the server/module expose custom server variables to application, for example .asp. It's dangerous using HTTP headers. If you have to get Shibboleth attributes from HTTP header, you could enable it by adding useHeaders=”true” in <ISAPI tag>. In your application, you should always get authenticated user's netID from server variable REMOTE_USER.
