I am doing a proof of concept deployment of Adaxes and I am struggling with something that I believe is easy to correct.

I am using the web form to create a new user with a space in it's name. I want to remove that space for username and email address however I am not sure how to accomplish that. I have the user pattern setup to use first initial and last name with the default regex check. I also have a rule before user creation calling the powershell script to check the mail AD attribute and modify it if it does contain it. The web UI, however, appears to be following the regex check immediately and stopping the process.

In the web UI preview it is showing the unmodified email address with a space, plus an error "The format of the specified e-mail address is invalid. Please specify a valid e-mail." and thde contraint "Constraints The value must match the following regular expression: '^[a-zA-Z0-9.%-+]+@([a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$'."

What did I miss for this config?

Hello,

This behavior is by design. The property pattern takes effect prior to triggering the business rule. To achieve the desired behavior, you need to remove the regular expression check from the property pattern and perform it in your script along with removing spaces. You can use the following script from our repository: https://www.adaxes.com/script-repository/remove-spaces-from-property-value-and-validate-it-against-regualar-expression-s299.htm.
