hi, I am importing proxyaddresses from Active directory,it contains the addresses starts with 'SMTP:'. I need to remove the SMTP: from the values importing to FIM.Can any one help me to create custom experssion or rule extension to remove it.

Hi, What have you tried so far? Maybe you could use the Replace function (check the FIM 2010 Function Reference) like this: Replace(proxyaddresses, "SMTP:", "") Cheers, Paolo Paolo Tedesco - http://cern.ch/idm

Hi Paolo... Do you know if this will work with a multivalued field? Cheers,***** Paulo H. Campos - So Paulo/Brasil ***** http://identitypedia.blogspot.com (in PT-BR)

Hi Paulo, I don't know how that would work with a multi-valued attribute... I cannot try it right now, but I'll try to have a look. Cheers, PaoloPaolo Tedesco - http://cern.ch/idm

Hi... Here is the Rule Extension´s Code to do what you want (C#): case "cd.user:proxyAddresses->mv.person:proxyAddressCollection": ValueCollection CS_Collection; mventry["proxyAddressCollection"].Delete(); // to clear old values CS_Collection = csentry["proxyAddresses"].Values; foreach (Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.Value Itens in CS_Collection) { string[] EachLine = Itens.ToString().Split(new char[] { ':' }); mventry["proxyAddressCollection"].Values.Add(EachLine[1].ToString()); } break; Cheers, ***** Paulo H.
