Checking whether an ad account exists for an identity using an workflow

[Tulasi (Tulasi Sowjanya Pallaprolu)]

Hi Everyone
In the rehire workflow, I want to check whether an AD accounts exists for the identity , if exists then I need to enable the accounts if not then I need to provision the user to the AD.
To acheive this I am getting all the accounts of the identity, and thinking to check whether the accounts ad exists or not using the compare string but according to my knowledge the compare string only accepts the string value , hence I need suggestion to convert the list of accounts received from the getaccounts step to convert into string, or else is there any other way to check whether the ad account exists for the user ,I have done using the loops but according to requirment they said its getting the maintenance issue

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tulasi,
Instead of using “get accounts”, you can use the API for listing the accounts with 2 filters: identity id and source id of AD. Followed by the operator “verify data type” to check if the body exists for the API call.

You can also create a Identity Attribute and apply transform to check if AD account exists and use the attribute flag to compare value in workflow.

Instead of using Compare Strings after Get Accounts, use Verify Data Type operator, where value will be

$.getAccounts.accounts[?(@.sourceName== 'NameOfTheSource']

and Data Type is “exists”

I am happy to know it worked. However, I think you don’t understand how to mark a response as solution. You are expected to mark the post that resolves your issue as the solution, not your own response
