Connector Settings

• Password Length: If a password is to be generated, it will be generated with this many characters.
• Minimum Number of non-Alphanumeric Characters: If a password is to be generated it will have at least this many non alphanumeric characters.
• Duplicate User: If the create new user is requested, and the requested username already exists in the database, then the action attempts to create a unique username rather than just failing. In order to do that, it follows the below rules:
  • If email is not null and not being used as a username it will attempt to create a username using the email provided if its not already in use in the database.
• If above doesn't work, and firstname+lastname is not null, it will attempt to use the firstname+lastname as the username if not already used in the database as a username
• If email and firstname+lastname both are null, action fails stating that failed to create a unique username

However if c is not true and a & b do not produce a unique username then it will attempt to use the firstname+lastname+number as a username or until a unique username is found by adding an incrementing digit until a unique username is found.
