Environment Variables

[Joshua Brodie]

Is it possible to pass all the IdP returned-attributes, from a
Shibboleth SP/Apache
set-up,  to a Tomcat, as environment variables? I have been reading:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPAttributeAccess;
passing attributes as http header, as the article mentions, is not
ideal from a security perspective - I am not 100% sure how to pass
with other methodologies.
