Access user attribute in terms-of-use.vm

[Rhian Resnick]

Thanks,


More correctly we need the browser to send an ajax call to retrieve and display the correct policy text as we cannot store static text in a properties file. We also need to record the acceptance of the policy information externally to Shibboleth.

Accessing the attribute is trivial, they're in the context tree (PRC->RelyingPartyContext->AttributeContext), but passing it to a web service is probably not something you want to be doing in a Velocity template or more to the point while a view is being rendered.
