The Names rule can be associated with any string-type attribute, and use is typically intended for attributes that have a relationship to the user name, e.g., sn, givenName, displayName, name, userPrincipalName, sAMAccountName, mail, etc.

 

The following text formatting options are available.

 

Compound names: if the string consists of multiple words, the following options are available

•Leave text unchanged: does not make any changes.

•Use only the first word: After the first word the text is truncated, that is, the words following the first word are deleted.

•Remove the empty spaces: The spaces between words are eliminated and the words are queued up forming a single word.

•Replace spaces with the "_" symbol: All spaces within the phrase are replaced with the underscore character.

 

Remove diacritical marks: if characters with diacritical marks appear in the string, they are removed and replaced with characters without diacritical marks if possible.

Delete quotes / apostrophes: deletes all characters that can be used as apostrophes.

 

Uppercase / lowercase: allows several options on the text

•Leave text unchanged: does not make any changes

•Capitalize: the first character of each word is forced to uppercase and all subsequent characters after the first are forced to lowercase.

•All in uppercase: all characters are converted to uppercase

•All in lowercase: all characters are converted to lowercase
