Attributes Local User Object, Local pivot property and OAuth profile pivot attribute function in the same way as with OAuth profile SAML2 suppliers.

• They consist of matching the profile OAUth user with a WEDIA user by searching for the local object of which the value of the local property is equal to the pivot attribute of the oauth profile.

• If this user exists: it is loaded.

• If not, the user is automatically created from the same one with supplier SAML2 by preteaching local properties or with attributes from the OAuth profile.
