You have to populate the user attributes on a per user basis.
The User Management portlet is one way to do this.
Another solution that we are working: an import program for user information

The jetspeed-portlet.xml is there for mapping custom property names to portal-defined property names.

I'm trying to get the user attributes, but the only way I can get it to work
is by going into the user management portlet and manually adding a value.
I've read the guide at
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-user-attributes.html and
added the jetspeed-portlet.xml to my app, but the attributes are still
null.  There is a link on that page that is broken, it looks like it would
talk about jetspeed preferences, so I might be missing something.  I'm just
trying to get the username of the current user.  Here is my
jetspeed-portlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<portlet-app version="1.0"
  xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd";
  xmlns:js="http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed";>
  <js:user-attribute-ref>
     <js:name>user-name</js:name>
     <js:name-link>user.name</js:name-link>
  </js:user-attribute-ref>
  <js:user-attribute-ref>
     <js:name>user-name-given</js:name>
     <js:name-link>user.name.given</js:name-link>
  </js:user-attribute-ref>
  <js:user-attribute-ref>
     <js:name>user-name-family</js:name>
     <js:name-link>user.name.family</js:name-link>
  </js:user-attribute-ref>
</portlet-app>


And I get the values with

Map map = (Map)request.getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);
String username = (String)map.get("user.name");

What am I doing wrong?
