Rocky (Customer) asked a question.
Add Pronoun field (She,Her,Hers)
Hello all, we are looking to add pronouns (She,Her,Hers) to our Slack Fullname fields. We are authenticating through Okta using SAML so attributes are sourced from there.
There is no direct mapping from Firstname and/or Lastname fields in Okta to the Full Name field in Slack. Users can modify their Full Name field directly in Slack, but since we have "Update Profile Each Time A User Logs In" enabled, the field reverts to its default.
Is there a way to create a custom field for Pronouns in a user profile in Okta?
After which we can map to Slack?
Has anyone else looked into doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Rocky
You can very well create the custom user attributes in OKTA & map it to the any AD/LDAP attributes. You can also choose if this new attribute is mandatory or optional.
Just go to the Profile Editor under the Directory TAB, There select the OKTA profile & click on the Profile Button. You will see the Add Attribute Button on the next screen.
Add/Define the new attribute there. Later map these attribute to the Existing AD attribute. You need to use the Okta Expression Language to define the mapping.
Once the mapping is defined, you can pass this attribute in SAML assertion in the application.
Let me know if any confusion. Thanks !
Thank you Sandeep! I will give this a shot.
