Method Detail

getAttributes

@NonNull
java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getAttributes()

In order to correctly implement the Serializable specification, this map should be Map<String, Serializable>, however that would place a burden on those not requiring serialization, forcing their values to conform to that spec. This is left intentionally as Object in order to meet both use cases and those requiring serialization must ensure all values in the map implement Serializable.

Returns:

Any additional attributes in the authentication
