String claims transformations

This article provides examples for using the string claims transformations of the Identity Experience Framework schema in Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C). For more information, see claims transformations.

AssertStringClaimsAreEqual

Compares two claims, and throw an exception if they aren't equal according to the specified comparison inputClaim1, inputClaim2 and stringComparison.

Check out the Live demo of this claims transformation.

Element	TransformationClaimType	Data Type	Notes
InputClaim	inputClaim1	string	First claim's type, which is to be compared.
InputClaim	inputClaim2	string	Second claim's type, which is to be compared.
InputParameter	stringComparison	string	string comparison, one of the values: Ordinal, OrdinalIgnoreCase.

The AssertStringClaimsAreEqual claims transformation is always executed from a validation technical profile that is called by a self-asserted technical profile, or a DisplayControl. The UserMessageIfClaimsTransformationStringsAreNotEqual metadata of a self-asserted technical profile controls the error message that is presented to the user. The error messages can be localized.

Example of AssertStringClaimsAreEqual

You can use this claims transformation to make sure, two claims have the same value. If not, an error message is thrown. The following example checks that the strongAuthenticationEmailAddress claim is equal to email claim. Otherwise an error message is thrown.

<ClaimsTransformation Id="AssertEmailAndStrongAuthenticationEmailAddressAreEqual" TransformationMethod="AssertStringClaimsAreEqual">
  <InputClaims>
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="strongAuthenticationEmailAddress" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim1" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="email" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim2" />
  </InputClaims>
  <InputParameters>
    <InputParameter Id="stringComparison" DataType="string" Value="ordinalIgnoreCase" />
  </InputParameters>
</ClaimsTransformation>

• Input claims:
  • inputClaim1: [email protected]
  • inputClaim2: [email protected]
• Input parameters:
  • stringComparison: ordinalIgnoreCase
• Result: Error thrown

Calling the AssertStringClaimsAreEqual claims transformation

The login-NonInteractive validation technical profile calls the AssertEmailAndStrongAuthenticationEmailAddressAreEqual claims transformation.

<TechnicalProfile Id="login-NonInteractive">
  ...
  <OutputClaimsTransformations>
    <OutputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="AssertEmailAndStrongAuthenticationEmailAddressAreEqual" />
  </OutputClaimsTransformations>
</TechnicalProfile>

The self-asserted technical profile calls the validation login-NonInteractive technical profile.

<TechnicalProfile Id="SelfAsserted-LocalAccountSignin-Email">
  <Metadata>
    <Item Key="UserMessageIfClaimsTransformationStringsAreNotEqual">Custom error message the email addresses you provided are not the same.</Item>
  </Metadata>
  <ValidationTechnicalProfiles>
    <ValidationTechnicalProfile ReferenceId="login-NonInteractive" />
  </ValidationTechnicalProfiles>
</TechnicalProfile>

3. The StringId is a unique identifier that you define, and use it later in your claims transformation.

4. In the claims transformation, specify the list of claims to be set with the localized string. The ClaimTypeReferenceId is a reference to a claim already defined in the ClaimsSchema section in the policy. The TransformationClaimType is the name of the localized string as defined in the StringId of the LocalizedString element.

5. In a self-asserted, or claims transformation technical profile's claims transformation, make a reference to your claims transformation.

6. Associate the technical profile with the content definition, such as api.selfasserted. The following example shows how to associate a technical profile to the api.selfasserted content definition.

   <Metadata>
     <Item Key="ContentDefinitionReferenceId">api.selfasserted</Item>
   </Metadata>
   

The following diagram shows how to configure the claims transformation with the localization elements:

When errorOnFailedLookup input parameter is set to true, the LookupValue claims transformation is always executed from a validation technical profile that is called by a self-asserted technical profile, or a DisplayConrtol. The LookupNotFound metadata of a self-asserted technical profile controls the error message that is presented to the user.

The following example looks up the domain name in one of the inputParameters collections. The claims transformation looks up the domain name in the identifier and returns its value (an application ID), or raises an error message.

 <ClaimsTransformation Id="DomainToClientId" TransformationMethod="LookupValue">
  <InputClaims>
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="domainName" TransformationClaimType="inputParameterId" />
