Expose Additional Information from UserLoginDetails in UserInfo

The UserLoginDetails class (in psdi.security) has some useful information about the user cached in memory such as their firstname, lastname, title, etc. We expose some of the information from UserLoginDetails in the UserInfo or Profile but some of it like the first & last name are not available.

Customers can't utilize something like userInfo.getUserLoginDetails().getFirstName() to get the data because the UserLoginDetails object is at a protected access level (meaning only classes inside that package can access it). This results in the customer either opening a new MBO to retrieve the person record (which adds overhead) or doing a hack like:

from com.ibm.json.java import JSONObject

jsonObject=JSONObject()

mbo.getUserInfo().toJSON(jsonObject,True)

jsonObject.get("firstname")



I understand not changing the access level of UserLoginDetails, but we should add additional public methods to UserInfo for retrieving the missing information from UserLoginDetails.

    Thank you for your submission. This is not a priority to be modified in the next 18-24 months, and there is a workaround available.
