Defining the Rule for Generating an Organizational Unit Name
The name of the organizational unit (OU) is formed in accordance with an organizational unit template.
The following placeholders can be used in the OU name template:
Placeholder |
Substitution |
---|---|
${subscription_id} |
Subscription identifier in 000000XXXX format: a string representation with preceding ‘0’ characters and with a fixed length (10 characters). |
${account_id} |
Account identifier of the subscription owner in 000000XXXX format. |
${company_name} |
Company name of the subscription owner. The maximum length of the company name used in substitution is 64 symbols: all other symbols will be truncated. |
${unique} |
Substitution which makes the subscription OU name unique within the domain. If it is not specified explicitly, it was added to the end of template implicitly. |
The subscription OU name template cannot contain special LDAP symbols: ‘#’, ‘+’, ‘"’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘=’, ‘\’, ‘;’, ‘,’, ‘/’. If a company name contains any of these symbols, they will be replaced with a ‘_’ symbol. The pattern cannot consist entirely of dots and spaces.
By default, the name template is S${subscription_id}
.
If the ${unique}
placeholder is not specified, it will be implicitly appended to the end of expression.
You can select one of these ready templates:
- Subscription ID based (S${subscription_id}${unique})
- Account ID based (S${account_id}${unique})
-
Customer company name based (${company_name}${unique})
If you select the Custom option, you can enter your own template.
