Dependencies

If this node’s Validate Username setting is enabled, the node relies on the underlying identity service (PingIDM) for username policies.

Configuration

Property Usage

Validate Username

When enabled, this node uses the username policies in the underlying identity service (PingIDM) to validate the user’s input. It returns any policy failures as errors.

Only enable this field if you’re using this node as part of a registration journey. Don’t enable this field in an authentication journey because the validation includes verifying that the provided username doesn’t exist in the identity store.

Default: disabled

Username Attribute

The attribute used to store a username in the managed identity object.

Default: userName

Outputs

On success, this node updates the Username Attribute property in the shared node state with the username.

Outcomes

Single outcome path.

Errors

This node doesn’t log any error or warning messages of its own.

If it fails to get the result from the underlying identity service (PingIDM) for a validation request, this node throws an exception with a Communication failure message.
