Random number is generating in mailNickName

[pkumar22 (prasantha Kondakagari)]

Based on the below rule, I am generating mailnickname first name first letter middle name (if it exists) first-letter and lastname, but it is generating a random number like 160Tim, as shown in the screenshot below.

In user details tab first name middlename and last name

Any idea please.

Hi @pkumar22
Can you ask the same question in the IIQ Discussions and Questions category?

This Ambassador category is more for questions about Ambassadors, not about the products

Can you share the screenshot of how Create Provisioning Policy is set for this particular attribute? ie Source > Accounts tab > Create Profile

[pkumar22 (prasantha Kondakagari)]

Here you can see

[sharvari (Sharvari Shah)]

firstName.charAt(0)

This returns a char and not String so while appending that it’s taking char value and not String. Please modify the lines in your code as follows and that will work :

mailnickname = “” + firstName.charAt(0) + middleName.charAt(0) + lastName;

Hi @pkumar22

Based on your logic your expected output should be “SMTim”.
Since you are getting the character instead of String I can see that it is taking the ASCII value for SM and returning it as “160Tim”

• ‘S’ has an ASCII value of 83
• ‘M’ has an ASCII value of 77

So you need to modify the code accordingly
