replacing special characters

Hi all,

 

I have a number of users in our test environment that cant be provisioned, the expression is quite long to acomodate various domains based on company and location, and results in firstname.lastname@domain

 

the problem I have is characters in some individuals names are not legal for an okta username or email address. is there any way I can replace these? 

 

an example would be 

Niño Mazo - the ñ is causing the create to fail. 

 

the expression also splits first name by a space and only uses what preceeds the space, so there are also a few cases where usernames result with a ".." which also fails.

 

example...

Ma. Milagros Mate

Ma..Mate@domain

 

Thanks in advance all!

    Supported Characters in Okta Email Addresses

    Consistent with Section 3 of the RFC 3696 specification published by the IETF, Okta email addresses support the following characters:

    Standard English alphabet

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 

    Special characters

    !  #  $  %  &  '  *  +  -  /  =  ?  ^  _  `  .  {  |  }  ~

    Except for the characters  ' ` ~  shown above, no diacritical marks are supported in Okta email addresses.

    The period character (.) may not be used to start or end the part of an email address that precedes the @ symbol (known as the "local"part), nor can two or more periods be used consecutively. For example:

    Supported

    john.doe@example.com

    Not supported

    .john.doe@example.com

    john.doe.@example.com

    john..doe@example.com
