To specify a custom userID to match the login ID
- In the left navigation panel of the Add Realm or Edit Realm page, click Authentication.

For example, by using the #userId + "@bmc.com" expression, you construct Mary@bmc.com. - Click Save.
You can specify a custom userID ин using the predefined string functions. The list of Java string functions and their description is displayed in the following table:
Function | Description |
|---|---|
strip() | Returns a string whose value is this string, with all leading and trailing white space removed. |
substring(int beginIndex) | Returns a string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins with the character at the specified index and extends to the end of this string. |
substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) | Returns a string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1. |

The following table represents examples of using string functions.
Expression | Current value | Transformed value |

#userId.split('@')[0] | user1@example.com | user1 |
#userId.split('@')[0].toUpperCase() | user1@example.com | USER1 |
#userId.replace("@example.com", "@abc.com") | user1@example.com | user1@abc.com |
#userid.substring(2) | p_user12345 | user12345 |
#userid.substring(4, 9) + #userid.substring(0, 4) | user12345 | 12345user |
