Restrictions on Attribute Mapping values in Azure AD Provisioning

Question

Hello All,

I hope you all are doing good.

We’re integrating SuccessFactors HRIS solution with Entra ID. During synchronization from SF to Entra ID, several attributes have limitations. Suppose the username attribute sends a character limit of 256, but Entra allows only 128 characters. In this case, what would be the behavior on the Entra side? Will it truncate the value or fail the process?

Hello ShashankSaxena-2458,

Thanks for your question.In my experience, the typical behavior is it will truncate it. However as it is an attribute that will be used it will end up failing on target system. It is always recommended you be within the limits. Please note for the username or UPN attribute consideration includes the domain.
