Invoking the Web Service
 
To fetch the user attributes:
  1. (Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the getQnAAttributes operation. See the section, "Manage Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
  2. Use the getQnAAttributesRequest elements to collect the organization information, as listed in the preceding table.
  3. Use the QnAAttributesRequest message and construct the input message by using the details obtained in preceding step.
  4. Invoke the getQnAAttributes operation of the ArcotUserRegistrySvc service to fetch the user attributes of the LDAP organization.
    This operation returns the QnAAttributesResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user attributes. See the following section for more information on the response message.
 
Interpreting the Response Message
 
The response message, QnAAttributesResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the user attributes for a successful transaction and the Fault response for an error condition.
See the following table for more information on the elements returned for a successful transaction. See the section, "Error Codes" if there are any errors.
