Hello, I am using this transform to generate an initial password. But every time when the data from a source is aggregated, the value of the password-attribute is overwritten with a new value. How can I prevent that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ericcopier_ym 

As you mention in every aggregation the transform calculate the value  of the password again and it happen because you  are setting this transform in the identity profile, I think the best approach is to set this transform in the create profile to avoid  this behavior since the create profile only execute when the account is created for an specific source just like an AD.

Is the result guaranteed to be  Alphanumeric? Meaning, since it is random, is it possible to come out with an all-alpha string?

@ericcopier_ym you might have to update your transform to something like:

FirstValid
-- identity/password field
-- random alphanumeric

That would let you set / keep a field, and generate it if empty (I believe)
