Configuring a custom generation rule

To configure a custom rule, click Other combination of user properties, then click Configure. This displays the Configure Value dialog, as described in Configuring a Property Generation and Validation policy. You can use that dialog to set up a value for the ‘Alias’ must be condition, the same way you configure a Property Generation and Validation policy.

To start configuring a value, click Add in the Configure Value dialog. This displays the Add Entry window.

A value is a concatenation of one or more entries. In the Add Entry window, you can select the type of the entry to add, and then configure the entry. The following table summarizes the available types of entries.

Table 5: Available entries

Type of entry

Description

Text

Adds a text string to the value.

Uniqueness Number

Adds a numeric value the policy will increment in the event of an alias naming conflict.

User Property

Adds a selected property (or a part of a property) of the user account to which the policy will assign the alias.

Parent OU Property

Adds a selected property (or a part of a property) of an Organizational Unit in the hierarchy of containers above the user account to which the policy will assign the alias.

Parent Domain Property

Adds a selected property (or a part of a property) of the domain of the user account to which the policy will assign the alias.

Instructions on how to configure an entry depend on the type of the entry. For more information on how to configure each entry type, see the following resources:

When you are done configuring a value, click OK to close the Configure Value dialog. This will add the value to the policy rule. If necessary, you can modify the value by clicking Configure, then managing the list of entries in the Configure Value dialog.

When you are done configuring the policy rule, click Next on the E-mail Alias Generation Rule page and follow the instructions in the wizard to create the Policy Object.

Scenario: Generating e-mail alias based on user names

The policy described in this scenario generates the e-mail alias in accordance with this rule: user first name, optionally followed by a three-digit uniqueness number, followed by a period, followed by the user last name. Examples of aliases generated by this rule are as follows:

  • John.Smith

  • John001.Smith

  • John002.Smith

The policy generates the alias John001.Smith for the user John Smith if the alias John.Smith is in use. If both John.Smith and John001.Smith are in use, the policy generates the alias John002.Smith, and so on.

To implement this scenario, you must perform the following actions:

  1. Create and configure the Policy Object that defines the appropriate policy.

  2. Apply the Policy Object to a domain, OU, or Managed Unit.

As a result, when assigning an email alias to a user account in the container you selected in Step 2, the Active Roles user interfaces provide a Generate button to create the alias in accordance with the policy rule. In the event of an alias naming conflict, clicking Generate causes the policy to add a uniqueness number to the alias.

The following two sections elaborate on the steps to implement this scenario.

Creating and configuring the Policy Object

You can create and configure the Policy Object you need by using the New Provisioning Policy Object Wizard.

To configure the policy, click E-mail Alias Generation on the Select Policy Type page of the wizard. Then, click Next.

On the E-mail Alias Generation Rule page, click Other combination of user properties, and then click Configure.

Complete the Configure Value dialog as follows:

  1. Click Add.

  2. Configure the entry to include the user first name:

    1. Under Entry type, click User Property.

    2. Under Entry properties, click Select.

    3. In the Select Object Property window, click First Name in the Object property list, and then click OK.

    4. Click OK.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Configure the entry to optionally include a uniqueness number:

    1. Under Entry type, click Uniqueness Number.

    2. Under Entry properties, set the entry options:

      • Click Add if the property value is in use.

      • Select the Fixed-length number, with leading zeroes check box.

      • In the box next to Length of the number, in digits, type 3.

    3. Click OK.

  5. Click Add.

  6. Configure the entry to include the period character:

    1. In Text value under Entry properties, type the period character.

    2. Click OK.

  7. Click Add.

  8. Configure the entry to include the user last name:

    1. Under Entry type, click User Property.

    2. Under Entry properties, click Select.

    3. In the Select Object Property window, click Last Name in the Object property list, and then click OK.

    4. Click OK.

    After you complete these steps, the list of entries in the Configure Value dialog must look like the following figure.

  9. Click OK to close the Configure Value dialog. Then, click Next and follow the instructions in the wizard to create the Policy Object.

Applying the Policy Object

To apply the Policy Object:

  • Use the Enforce Policy page in the New Policy Object Wizard.

  • Alternatively, complete the New Policy Object Wizard, then use the Enforce Policy command on the domain, OU, or Managed Unit where you want to apply the policy.

For more information on how to apply a Policy Object, see Linking Policy Objects to directory objects.
