Hi @lsrhg (lsrhg) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
The following articles offer a few examples of the concept of pushing specific values to the downstream apps as a username:
The syntax can be as simple or complex as required within the supported frame.
More details and examples pertaning the Okta Expression language can be found here:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/okta-expression-language/
In your case, the syntax would be something like the following:
Okta Username: John.Smith@domain.com
Custom value: SpecificPrefixHere-
"SpecificPrefixHere-" + user.login - the resulting value sent to the downstream app would be "SpecificPrefixHere-John.Smith@domain.com"
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
