adding extra parameters to the SSO auth cookie

Hi

We currently supply profile.language to the auth cookie via SSO, is it possible to supply other key values eg

profile.user_hash_id

?

cheers

I've never experimented with it, but I suspect you can set any of the standard profile settings. You can see the list of settings for a user via the API, for example:
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/users/id/5004/profiles

and
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/users/id/5004/settings/settings

  Yes its possible. However you need to have a space for the setting to be created / copied on the Lithium side. You may need to create some small custom coding to retreive these values from the SSO object and have them stored into the custom profile / custom setting. It may also be done automatically... I can't recall. Either way you'll need to lodge a support ticket.

    Chris is correct, you should be able to add any user profile field -- like other fields in the sso token, use a pipe ("|") to delimit each setting and use <name>=<value> for the setting -- for example:
    
    Li|..first parts of sso token go here...|login|email|profile.name_first=john|profile.name_last=doe|iL
