Account naming rules

Definition

Account naming rules define how to generate account names for target systems. The normal case is the account name will be the same as the user name, in other cases, here you could define the customized account name rules.

When you are configuring an agent, you have to indicate the user domain which will be used to create new accounts, that user domain refers to the Account naming rules defined on the Soffid console.
