question about RegexpSplitAttributeDefinition

[Ullfig, Roberto Alfredo]

This is weird. I have a really basic perl cgi script that prints out all the attributes and the "\" character shows there before every single ";" character (i.e. member\;staff) but the IDP log shows the attribute correctly apparently:

        <saml2:Attribute FriendlyName="eduPersonAffiliation"
            Name="urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.1" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
            <saml2:AttributeValue>member;staff</saml2:AttributeValue>
        </saml2:Attribute>

So it's a special character? If I use this script in the IDP:

        isMemberOf.getValues().clear();
        if( typeof AdGroupsConcat != "undefined" )
        {
            for each ( group in AdGroupsConcat.getValues().get(0).split(';') )
            {
                isMemberOf.getValues().add(group);
            }
        }

The cgi script prints the attribute as expected (i.e. member;staff) - the IDP log looks the same as before.

You could create a scripted attribute definition; all the script would need to do is take the attribute from your data source and do a regex replacement of the backslash character with nothing. You could then release or reference the attribute as needed.

I have data that looks like this:

member\;staff

I need to get rid of one or more \

(always this character causing problems :) )

Would I able to remove it with RegexpSplitAttributeDefinition? I've tried ([^\\]*) but it doesn't work - works in perl though. Is there an alternative Attr Def that would do what I need? Thanks!
