z4p8y (z4p8y) asked a question.

Trying to create a Custom Attribute, made of 2 existing attributes

I'm new to this whole thing... and currently going through the 30-day trial, so please bare with me. =)

 

I'm trying to create a custom attribute for users called "fullName". I want it to me made of two existing attributes "firstName" and "lastName" so it looks like the following:

 

firstName: Foo

lastName: Bar

 

fullName: foobar

 

 

How can I achieve fullName to be auto populated in a user profile?

 

 

Thanks!


  • Hi @z4p8y (z4p8y)​ ,

     

    You first have to define custom attribute to Okta User profile via Profile Editor.

     

    StepsFollow the below procedure to add a new custom attribute in Okta:

    1. On your Okta Admin Console, navigate to Directory > Profile Editor
    2. Click on the Profile button next to Okta which is the topmost option in the list.
    3. Click on Add Attribute Button
    4. Define your attribute with the appropriate Data Type and Variable name
    5. Click on Save

     

    Then in your application profile mapping use user.firstName + " " + user.lastName in front of custom variable.
