Pulling an env var or Java variable into a view in V3

[Wessel, Keith]

Awesome! Thanks, Brent! I’m still figuring out where all the goodies are hidden in the IDP3 wiki space, so I sincerely appreciate the link, too. BTW, my complements to the team for the organization of the IDP3 config docs. Though I’m still finding nooks and crannies like the URL below, I’ve been impressed with the over-all approach.

Btw, it's mentioned here in the wiki:

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/VelocityProperties





So you might just try something like:

$environment.getProperty('idpNodeName')

The wiki also documents the variant that returns a default value used when the property isn't set, which might be useful.  So something like

$environment.getProperty('idpNodeName', 'some-default-value')
