Attribute mappings

Attribute Substitution
Use ${attributeName} in the DN expression.

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Smith }
DN Expression: cn=${firstName} ${lastName},ou=People,o=MyOrg
Result: cn=John Smith,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Function Substitution
The result of a function call on the attributes of a source event can be used with the function substitution notation:
${functionName(attributeName1,attributeName2, …}

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Smith }
DN Expression: cn=${uppercase(firstName)},ou=People,o=MyOrg
Result: cn=JOHN,ou=People,o=MyOrg

RDN Substitution
Insert portions (one or more RDN components) of the source event DN using the following formats are supported:
${rdn[index]}
${rdn[startIndex:endIndex]}
${rdn[startIndex:]}
${rdn[:endIndex}]
${rdn_value[index]}
${rdn_value[startIndex:endIndex]}
${rdn_value[startIndex:]}
${rdn_value[:endIndex]}

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: ${rdn[1]},ou=People,o=MyOrg<br>Result: uid=jsmith,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: ${rdn[-1]},ou=People,o=MyOrg
Result: o=SuperCompany,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,c=USA,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: ${rdn[2:3]},ou=People,o=MyOrg<br>Result: ou=Sales,c=USA,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,c=USA,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: ${rdn[2:]},ou=People,o=MyOrg<br>Result: ou=Sales,c=USA,o=SuperCompany,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,c=USA,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: ${rdn[:2]},ou=People,o=MyOrg<br>Result: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,ou=People,o=MyOrg

Source Event:   { eventID: uid=jsmith,ou=Sales,o=SuperCompany, firstName: John, lastName: Doe }
DN Expression: displayName=${rdn_value[1]},ou=People,o=MyOr

buildExpression

Creates a string containing variables that will be replaced with their value at runtime. This is the function to use if you want to concatenate input values.
Example: buildExpression("%givenName%@radiantlogic.com") --> [email protected]
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded. If the value(s) are base64 encoded, they are first decoded, then the function is applied to them, and finally the result is re-encoded in base64 and returned.

concat

Concatenates the specified values into one value.
Example:
concat("one", "two", "three") --> "one two three"
concat("Hello ", firstName, lastName) --> "Hello John Smith"

decodeBase64

filterMatchingRegex

Filters a list of value(s) keeping only the value(s) that match the given regular expression.
Examples: filterMatchingRegex("Novato", "N.") --> "Novato"
filterMatchingRegex("Chicago", "N.") --> [no value because Chicago does not match regex]

filterNotMatchingRegex

Filters a list of value(s) keeping only the value(s) that do NOT match the given regular expression.
Examples: filterNotMatchingRegex("Novato", "N.") --> [no value because Novato matches the regex]
filterNotMatchingRegex("Chicago", "N.") --> `"Chicago"

getRDN

For each value, extracts the RDN at the given index (index 0 is the deepest RDN). This function assumes that each value is a DN.
Examples: getRDN("uid=Jack, ou=Sales, ou=Company, o=vds", 0) --> "uid=Jack"
getRDN("uid=Jack, ou=Sales, ou=Company, o=vds", 2) --> "ou=Company"
getRDN("uid=Jack, ou=Sales, ou=Company, o=vds", 6) --> ""
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded. If the value(s) are base64 encoded, they are first decoded, then the function is applied to them, and finally the result is re-encoded in base64 and returned.

getRDNValue

For each value, extracts the RDN value at the given index (index 0 is the deepest RDN). This function assumes that each value is a DN.
Example: getRDNValue("uid=Jack, ou=Sales, ou=Company, o=vds",0) --> "Jack"
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded.

lookupAttribute(String dataSourceID, String baseDn, String filter, int scope, String attrName, int sizeLimit)
Returns the value(s) of a single attribute by performing an LDAP search.
Example: lookupAttribute("VDS", "o=companydirectory", "(uid=me)", 2, "mail", 1)
The lookup performs a sub-tree search against the VDS data source to find the mail attribute for user with uid=me.
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded. If the value(s) are base64 encoded, they are first decoded, then the function is applied to them, and finally the result is re-encoded in base64 and returned.

Examples: lowercase("Jack LogiC") --> "jack logic"
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded. If the value(s) are base64 encoded, they are first decoded, then the function is applied to them, and finally the result is re-encoded in base64 and returned.

remapDN

There are 3 different ways to use the remap function:
remapDN(originalDNattribute,dnTemplate) –Re-maps the original DN attribute based on a template. DN template is a representation of pattern to apply and it may contain a placeholder of %rdn and/or %dn. %rdn is the rdn value of the original DN. %dn is the value of original DN.
Example: remapDN(memberOf,"cn=%rdn,dc=my_groups") - %rdn is replaced with the rdn value extracted from the memberof attribute.
Example: remapDN(uniqueMember,"%dn,dc=my_users") adds a suffix of "dc=my_users" to the original dn.
remapDN(originalDNattribute,oldSuffix,newSuffix) – Changes the old suffix in the originalDNattribute to the newSuffix.
Example: remapDN(uniqueMember,"o=mycompany","dc=mycomp")
If a uniqueMember value was "uid=lcallahan,o=mycompany", the computed attribute value would be "uid=lcallahan,dc=mycorp".
remapDN(attr2remap,dataSourceID,externalBaseDN,scope,externalIdAttr) – Extracts the RDN value from the attr2remap attribute and does a lookup in a data source where externaldAttr=attr2remap.
Example: remapDN("uniqueMember","vds","o=proxy",1,"samAccountName")
If a uniqueMember value was "uid=lcallahan,o=mycompany", and the DN resulting from the lookup where sAMAccountName=lcallahan (in the vds data source, one level below o=proxy), was cn=lcallahan,dc=addomain1,dc=com, the computed attribute value would be "cn=lcallahan,dc=addomain1,dc=com".
Note: This is not compatible with other functions meaning you cannot take the result of this function and pass it as a parameter to another function.
For every value passed to this function, there is a check to see if the value starts with String {base64binary}, indicating that the value is base64 encoded.
