OUD Attribute Transformations Configured with a Regular Expression Can Only Concatenate Values (Doc ID 2131139.1)

Applies to:

Goal

Use a regular expression to generate a new attribute that contains only a subset of the original attribute value (by removing a specific value at the beginning of an attribute to generate a new one)

For example :

where the new attribute contains only the password without the beginning of the string "{crypt}" (in this example).

The documentation refers to using regular expressions -

12.6.2.3.3 Regular Expressions

but the regular expression example shown:

does not help in this case since it concatenates values, rather than creating a new value with a subset of another attribute value.
