How to use the Transformation Engine to zero pad numerical values in assertions

Follow
    Applies to:
  • Legacy SecureAuth IdP
Deployment model:
  • On Premises
  • SecureAuth IdP Version Affected: 8.2+

    Description:

    The Transformation Engine can be used to pad numerical values with a prefix of zeroes so they are a consistent length.

     

    Cause:

    Some service providers may require that an attribute is a specific length and prefixed with zeros, e.g.:

    If the service provider requires a 9 digit value then numbers like 123 or 98765 should be sent as 000000123 and 000098765

     

    Resolution:

     
    1. Open the Post Authentication tab of the respective realm and click on Transformation Engine

    2. In the Transformation engine configuration, tick the box to enable it and edit the section for the property that you are using like the following example for AuxID1:

    So that this line:
    <xsl:value-of select="user/AuxID1" />

    is replaced with this line:
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number(user/AuxID1, '000000000')" />

    3. Save the changes
