This use case shows how you can use a calculated expression attribute mapping and an alias attribute mapping to represent the sort name of a user in Directory A and Directory B.
Given:
This results in two different representations and views of the same user information.
Solution:
(surname + "," + givenname)
Note: The expression must conform to the syntax rules of a SiteMinder expression.
Result:
You can reference SortName when defining policies, expressions, or other objects that require the sort name of users, without concern for the directory-specific schema, because the directories are operationally identical. SiteMinder determines that the sort name must be calculated when referencing users in Directory A and is sort_name when referencing users in Directory B.
