NativeSP 2.5.5 Attribute Transforming

[O'Dowd, Josh]

Thanks for the assistance.  This was helpful.  Even though your suggestion didn't quite work for us, we did use it to find a workable solution.

As it turns out, on our system, the regex, "^(.{8}).*, would capture only on 9 or more characters so it worked for stripping down our 9 character UIDs but would fail for our 8 character UIDs.

We finally settled on using the using the eppn as a source instead of the UID.  This guaranteed that our capture would always be the 8 character base uid.


Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

I don't know if it matters, but your original regex won't match if the uid is shorter than 8 chars.
Maybe try something like "^(.{1,8}).*$"

This one is running on a headless Redhat 6 server with apache2, the other is a FreeBSD 10 server with apache2.  Both SPs are exhibiting the same behavior.  I will hold off on filing a bug until I have exhaustively tested different match strings, in case you are right that this is just a subtle syntactical problem.
