This should be easy so what am I missing?
I'm needing to have claims generated in a JSON body for a subsequent REST API call to a service. I don't see a way to prevent GenerateJSON from including square brackets when there is a entity name at the top. The REST API service is choking on them.
Needing:
{"CustomerEntity":
{
"ExternalIdentityId": "9988875",
"FirstName":"David",
"LastName":"Longfellow"
}
}
Getting:
{"CustomerEntity": [
{
"ExternalIdentityId": "9988875",
"FirstName":"David",
"LastName":"Longfellow"
}
]
}

Answer 1

Try the following format (without the "0" before the second notation).
<ClaimsTransformations>
<ClaimsTransformation Id="GenerateRequestBody" TransformationMethod="GenerateJson">
<InputParameters>
<InputParameter Id="CustomerEntity.ExternalIdentityId" DataType="string" Value="9988875"/>
<InputParameter Id="CustomerEntity.FirstName" DataType="string" Value="David"/>
<InputParameter Id="CustomerEntity.LastName" DataType="string" Value="Longfellow"/>
</InputParameters>
<OutputClaims>
<OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="requestBody" TransformationClaimType="outputClaim"/>
</OutputClaims>
</ClaimsTransformation>
</ClaimsTransformations>
Output:
{
"CustomerEntity":{
"ExternalIdentityId":"9988875",
"FirstName":"David",
"LastName":"Longfellow"
}
}
Sample 2
<ClaimsTransformation Id="GenerateRequestBody" TransformationMethod="GenerateJson">
<InputClaims>
<InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="email" TransformationClaimType="customerEntity.email" />
<InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="objectId" TransformationClaimType="customerEntity.userObjectId" />
<InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="givenName" TransformationClaimType="customerEntity.firstName" />
<InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="surname" TransformationClaimType="customerEntity.lastName" />
</InputClaims>
<InputParameters>
<InputParameter Id="customerEntity.role.name" DataType="string" Value="Administrator"/>
<InputParameter Id="customerEntity.role.id" DataType="long" Value="1"/>
</InputParameters>
<OutputClaims>
<OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="requestBody" TransformationClaimType="outputClaim"/>
</OutputClaims>
</ClaimsTransformation>
Output:
{
"customerEntity":{
"email":"john.s#contoso.com",
"userObjectId":"31ee61cf-521f-4132-8e19-11a3b6562666",
"firstName":"John",
"lastName":"Smith",
"role":{
"name":"Administrator",
"id": 1
}
}
}
