# Username casing in IDP does not match the casing in tableau

WriteBackExtreme verifies the username from the SSO provider with the username property of the user. When the casing is different (e.g. IDP returns <My.User@yourdomain.com> and the username in WriteBackExtreme is set to <my.user@yourdomain.com>) it will fail authorisation.

This needs to be fixed on the IDP side. All major IDP providers have a way of transforming properties for SAML requests.

* In [Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/saml-claims-customization#special-claims-transformations) for example you can add a transformation claim.
* In Okta you can use [Okta expression language](https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/okta-expression-language-in-identity-engine/) in the Attribute Statements like this: toLowerCase(user.email)

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/trulyp/writebackextreme-old/troubleshooting-and-faq/extension-errors/single-sign-on-saml/username-casing-in-idp-does-not-match-the-casing-in-tableau.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
