Azure Ad B2C Orchestration Step Precondition not working as expected

Question

Problem: In a B2C Custom Policy, we wanted to skip an orchestration step if the values in precondition match. Below is the orchestration step with preconditions, Even though the two claims match, this step is still running.

Not sure If I'm doing anything wrong here. Please help. Thanks in advance!!

    <OrchestrationStep Order="8" Type="ClaimsExchange">  
      <Preconditions>  
         <Precondition Type="ClaimEquals" ExecuteActionsIf="true">  
              <Value>claim1</Value>  
              <Value>claim2</Value>  
              <Action>SkipThisOrchestrationStep</Action>  
            </Precondition>  
          </Preconditions>  
          <ClaimsExchanges>  
            <ClaimsExchange Id="DoSomeTask" TechnicalProfileReferenceId="DoSomeTask" />  
          </ClaimsExchanges>  
    </OrchestrationStep>  

Answer 1

After some research, I find out that Claim1 and Claim2 cannot be equal in Preconditions, even though they have the same values.

Issue has been fixed by using a ClaimsTransformation for “CompareClaims” in the TechnicalProfile as below:

Claims Transformation:

      <ClaimsTransformation Id="CheckClaimMatches" TransformationMethod="CompareClaims">  
        <InputClaims>  
          <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="claim1" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim1"/>  
          <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="claim2" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim2"/>  
        </InputClaims>  
        <InputParameters>  
          <InputParameter Id="operator" DataType="string" Value="EQUAL"/>  
          <InputParameter Id="ignoreCase" DataType="string" Value="true"/>  
        </InputParameters>  
        <OutputClaims>  
          <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="CheckClaimEqual" TransformationClaimType="outputClaim"/>  
        </OutputClaims>  
      </ClaimsTransformation>  

In the Technical Profile:

          <OutputClaimsTransformations>  
            <OutputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="CheckClaimMatches" />  
          </OutputClaimsTransformations>  

In the Orchestration Step:

            <Precondition Type="ClaimEquals" ExecuteActionsIf="true">  
              <Value>CheckClaimEqual</Value>  
              <Value>True</Value>  
              <Action>SkipThisOrchestrationStep</Action>  
            </Precondition>
