attribute transformations

attribute-transformations

The MA is capable of performing a transformation on an attribute before it is imported into FIM. Transformations are achieved using NET regular expression substitutions

The <attribute-transformations> is optional, but if it is present, must contain one or more <attribute-transformation> elements.

syntax

XML Attribute	Description	Allowed Values
attribute	The name of the attribute to transform	Any attribute defined in the MA schema for the specified object class
regex-find	The regular expression used to match a value for transformation	Any valid NET regular expression syntax
regex-replace	A regular expression defining the substitution to perform	Any valid .NET regular expression syntax
If the <attribute-transformation> is applied to a multivalued attribute, each value in the array is transformed.

Example

<attribute-transformations>
    <attribute-transformation attribute="member" regex-find=".+" regex-replace="cn=$&amp;,ou=users"/>
</attribute-transformations>

The example takes each member value from the multivalued attribute and converts the value into a dn format.
