Help with Expression Language

Hi Experts,

I have AD mastered users in Okta. I need to write rule in Okta that should assign users to group only if their login id has digits. I went through https://developer.okta.com/reference/okta_expression_language/*string-functions but couldn't find relevant function that solves my purpose.

 

For example:

 

Login IDs are 123456 and C12345.

 

If Login ID is 123456 then assign user to group otherwise ignore group assignment.

 

I tried with String.startsWith(user.login,"C") - but this rule doesnt apply for users who has login id as number. So i am not able to assign to group.

 

How can I write string function that checks if login id has only numbers and then assign to group?

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Hmm.. Maybe a little bit more information could help. Does the first character, if it is a letter, always start with the letter C? is it random letters? Does it not always start with a letter?

     

    What if you did a "NOT" check?

     

    So for example if the userlogins always start with the capital letter "C" (or not at all)...

     

    !String.startsWith(user.login,"C") - expression is asking if the first character does NOT start with "C".

    There must be other sane way of doing it but following will get the job done too. Following assumes that login length is 5 character. If it is more or less, adjust the number of zeros below.

     

    Following rules replaces all numeric digits 1-9 in login with 0 so if login is ONLY consists of digits then finally you should get all Zeros 🙂

     

    String.replace(String.replace(String.replace(String.replace(String.replace(String.replace(String.replace(String.replace( String.replace(String.substringBefore(user.login,"@"),"1","0"), "2","0"),"3","0"),"4","0"),"5","0"),"6","0"),"7","0"),"8","0"),"9","0")=="00000"
