Hello Experts, We have a requirement where we need to generate a unique sequential uidnumber during account creation. This is an IBM Tivoli DS connector which follows LDAP. We thought of implementing this using the Create Unique LDAP Attribute / username generator transform but it is designed for …

Ah, you pre-empted my next question :wink: As I said above, this is not a simple use case and there are a number of posts on this subject in the forum.

Hi @KRM7 It’s my understanding you cant make API calls in a Cloud Rule. However, even if you could, how would you find the max number?

Thanks @Peddapolu How would you determine the highest (latest) UID?

Hi @j_place we can determine using the “type”: “lookup” and accountPropertyFilter transfrom. Thanks, PVR.

SailPoint doc doesn’t say that you should not make API calls

I haven’t come across any use case to make API calls, but I have read in community other developers implemented, however we can get confirmation on this.

Get all accounts, get uid of all accounts, feed them to a list, find the max number using Collections
