How additional user data is retrieved
- When a user logs in to the integrated application, BMC Helix SSO authenticates the user by using the assigned authentication type in the realm.
- After the user is authenticated, BMC Helix SSO fetches additional user information from the AR System server by making API calls to AR System server and stores it within that session.
- BMC Helix SSO provides this user information to the integrated application after authentication or as a response to an API call. The user information is provided in one of the following ways:
- As a part of the response for Open ID Connect token in the id_token payload
- As a part of the response for a Helix SSO, OAuth2, or introspect API call
