Attribute Variables with SonicWall CSE

Description

User Attributes Overview #

In Cloud Secure Edge, user attribute variables are used to specify resources (e.g., domain names) in cases where these resources follow a clear naming convention. Cloud Secure Edge uses two kinds of variables: Server Name Indication (SNI) Network Attributes and User Attributes.

Server Name Indication (SNI) Network Attributes #

These are TLS extensions which identify an individual domain within a multi-domain service that a client needs to connect to. The values exist in the network packets transmitted.

VariableExample
.NameHostname - www for URL www.microsoft.com
.DomainSecond level (or nth) domain name - microsoft.com for URL www.microsoft.com
.Partsindex .Parts n

User Attributes #

These attributes are obtained from your Identity Provider. Currently, only the email attribute, as its individual parts, is accessible as a variable.

VariableExample
.Email.UserLocal part of the email address; e.g., alanak from email address alanak@contoso.com
.Email.DomainDomain part of the email address; e.g., contoso.com from email address alanak@contoso.com
