Configuring attribute mapping on IBM SVA

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

To authenticate a user, IBM SVA sends an authentication response to Keycloak containing various user attributes, such as the first name, last name, phone number, or email address. Keycloak then maps this user information to the attributes of the access token that is generated and sent back to clients.

  2. Navigate to Application and then select your SAML 2.0 application.
  3. Click the Settings icon to the right of your application name.
