What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
Opportunity to change the format of the username
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
we have several systems (mostly websites) who are connected with LDAP to our AD and only accept username as sAMAccountName or the userPrincipalName and not the format that NPS uses which is Domain\sAMAccountName.
My idea is that when you configure an Activity, that there is a switch to choose the format of the username which will be submitted to the target system.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
With these systems, we cannot use the NPS at the moment and must instead use a manuel login process.
Unless I’m not understanding you correctly, I believe you can currently format it in pretty much any way you need. For example, having the following in the “Login Account Template” field translates John Doe’s account into AdminJohnD by pulling the corresponding fields from their AD record.
Admin%firstname%%first(%lastname%,1)/first%
On some activities, it appears there is only a “Requester Login Format” drop-down, but if you select the “Custom” option from there, the “Login Account Template” field appears and the text in there can be modified to fit your needs.
Yes, if Requestor is selected, the you have several built-in options and have to select “Custom” to get the Login Account Template where you can customize it to whatever you want. I don’t know why we didn’t put the built-in ones for Managed and Activity Token (Ephemeral), rather they just have the customizable “Login Account Template” right off the bat where you can customize.
