to remove space from Sam account name

[Aparna]

Hi Team,

we have the  sam account name logic as below , but due the same if there is a space in the name for eg first name John Last Name S M then the sam Account name is getting created with space to over come the same we have implemented the below logic , but the add account task is getting failed with error as below .

Sam Account name logic --

"sAMAccountName":"${

String samAccountName = '';

String fn = '';

String ln = '';

if(user.preferedFirstName != null && !user.preferedFirstName.trim().isEmpty() && !user.preferedFirstName.trim().equalsIgnoreCase('-')){

fn = user.preferedFirstName.trim().toLowerCase();

}

else{

fn = user.firstname.trim().toLowerCase();

}

if(user.displayname != null && !user.displayname.trim().isEmpty() && !user.displayname.trim().equalsIgnoreCase('-')){

ln = user.displayname.trim().toLowerCase();

}

else{

ln = user.lastname.trim().toLowerCase();

}

samAccountName = fn.substring(0,1) + '.' + ((ln.length()<11)?ln:ln.substring(0, 11)) + '_adm';

return samAccountName;

Logic to remove space ---

ln = user.displayname.replaceAll("\\s","").trim().toLowerCase();

ln = user.lastname.replaceAll("\\s","").trim().toLowerCase();

Error in Provisioning new account --

Error while creating account in AD - Failed to parse template script (your template may contain an error or be trying to use expressions not currently supported): startup failed: SimpleTemplateScript455.groovy: 7: unexpected char: '\' @ line 7, column 35. ln = user.displayname.replaceAll(\\\s\,\"\").trim().toLowerCase(); ^ 1 error

Hi @Aparna 

Please try replacing replaceAll("\\s","") with replaceAll('\\s','') everywhere and check if it works.

@Aparna can you try :

ln = user.displayname.replaceAll('\\s',"").trim().toLowerCase();

ln = user.lastname.replaceAll('\\s',"").trim().toLowerCase();
