Special Character Validation & Substitution



When using a user’s name to generate technical fields such as samAccountName and email addresses, often the data will contain characters that are invalid in the specified data field (such as a space in an email address). This workflow identifies some of the most common special characters and provides substitutions. The validated or remediated name is then placed in a user profile attribute in Okta to allow for preservation of the original name for display purposes and utilization of the updated name for technical purposes. __ Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell so you never miss an upload: http://bit.ly/OktaYoutube __ Want more Okta?
