7.6.3 Sending Attributes to the Embedded Service Provider

You can configure the Embedded Service Provider (ESP) of the Access Gateway to receive
attributes when the user authenticates. LDAP traffic is reduced and performance is improved when
the required LDAP attribute values are retrieved during authentication. This improvement is easily
seen when you have many users and you have configured Identity Injection or Authorization
policies to protect resources and these policies use LDAP attributes or Identity Server roles.
When the authentication process does not gather the LDAP attribute values, each user access can
generate a new LDAP query, depending upon how the user accesses the resources and how the
policies are defined. However, if the LDAP values are gathered at authentication, one LDAP query
can retrieve all the needed values for the user.
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers > Shared Settings.

3 For each attribute you need to add because it is used in a policy:
3a Click New.

attribute.

address of the Access Gateway.
