How to pass $ in a string to AD Target system

[KTaggart]

I am trying to set the value of HomeDirectory in AD in the create account JSON, if I map like this, value is able to get set 

"HomeDirectory":"\\\\cntr\\workstationsdfs\\RedirectedFolders\\${user.username}

however after RedirectedFolders, there is a business need to add $.

$ is an escape character, so I have tried to pass value like this  \\\\cntr\\workstationsdfs\\RedirectedFolders\$5\\${user.username}

however I get error 

Error while creating account in AD - [LDAP: error code 19 - 00002082: AtrErr: DSID-03151F1B, #7: 0: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 2a (givenName):len 232 1: 000020B5: DSID-0315344E, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 15000a (manager) 2: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 20092 (company):len 202 3: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 90023 (employeeID):len 36 4: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 14 (telephoneNumber):len 172 5: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 2008d (department):len 190 6: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 160022 (middleName):len 166 ]

If I remove HomeDirectory from the createAccount JSON, and run provisioning operation on same account, then it works, please assist.

Hello @rushikeshvartak ,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that on one user, and still got error as shown below

Hello @rushikeshvartak 

With your latest value, I get same error when I am using " \\\\cntr\\workstationsdfs\\RedirectedFolders\$5\\${user.username}"

Error while creating account in AD - [LDAP: error code 19 - 00002082: AtrErr: DSID-03151F1B, #7: 0: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 2a (givenName):len 232 1: 000020B5: DSID-0315344E, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 15000a (manager) 2: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 20092 (company):len 202 3: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 90023 (employeeID):len 36 4: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 14 (telephoneNumber):len 172 5: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 2008d (department):len 190 6: 00002082: DSID-03151F1B, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 160022 (middleName):len 166 ]

But If I remove HomeDirectory mapping, then create user works fine.

[rushikeshvartak]

$ is used internally for evaluation hence its causing issue

Hello @rushikeshvartak 

With that being said, is there no way to provision any attribute to Active Directory that contains a "$" in the string value?  Seems we are not able to pass this in the create JSON, and I also have not seen any way to configure anything like a post user create powershell action script either, please share thoughts.

Thanks,

Kyle

Hi @KTaggart ,

usually in json if you would like to escape special character like $ we use backslash \ to escape it(\$). In this case since we're using it to represent in file directory attribute in json, can you please try with below param once,

"HomeDirectory": "\\\\cntr\\workstationsdfs\\RedirectedFolders\\\\$5\\${user.username}"

Or you can try using below attribute if using backslash is not working in this case as we're passing file directory path. \u00245 is unicode sequence value for $ symbol.

"HomeDirectory": "\\\\cntr\\workstationsdfs\\RedirectedFolders\u00245\\${user.username}"

Thanks,

Hello @pruthvi_t 

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have tried both of your suggestions, and both have failed, attaching relevant section of log for both provisioning operations below.
