    <title>Obtaining Assertion Attributes</title>
    <para>
        After a successful SAML login, your application code may want to obtain attribute values passed with the SAML assertion.
        <literal>HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal</literal> returns a Principal object that you can typecast into a
        Keycloak specific class called <literal>org.keycloak.adapters.saml.SamlPrincipal</literal>.  This object allows
        you to look at the raw assertion and also has convenience functions to look up attribute values.
