SYMPTOMS
An attempt to access a specific user core profile attribute displays a &quot;No such attribute&quot; Active Server Pages (ASP) script error.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you attempt to retrieve a value for a field attribute that does not exist in the core profile table.

Attributes are never removed from the core profile, but they may be added when you make a change and then distribute updated Component Configuration Document (CCD) files to each participant site by using built-in update capabilities of the Passport Manager object. A call to such a new attribute results in this same scripting error if the CCD is not properly updated.



RESOLUTION
For specific tips on debugging CCD refresh failures, see the following Microsoft Passport Software Development Kit (SDK) Web site:

Troubleshooting: Windows NT Events

http://www.passport.com/sdkdocuments/sdk14/reference/operations/troubleshooting_events.htm

Also, make sure that the attribute that you are using is of the expected type or can be coerced into the expected type. For more information on data types for Passport profile attributes, see the following Passport SDK Web site:
