Note

In Azure Active Directory B2C, custom policies are designed primarily to address complex scenarios. For most scenarios, we recommend that you use built-in user flows. If you've not done so, learn about custom policy starter pack in Get started with custom policies in Active Directory B2C.

The ClaimsTransformations element contains a list of claims transformation functions that can be used in user journeys as part of a custom policy. A claims transformation converts a given claim into another one. In the claims transformation, you specify the transform method, for example adding an item to a string collection or changing the case of a string.

To include the list of claims transformation functions that can be used in the user journeys, a ClaimsTransformations XML element must be declared under the BuildingBlocks section of the policy.

<ClaimsTransformations>
  <ClaimsTransformation Id="<identifier>" TransformationMethod="<method>">
    ...
  </ClaimsTransformation>
</ClaimsTransformations>

The ClaimsTransformation element contains the following attributes:

Attribute Required Description
Id Yes An identifier that is used to uniquely identify the claim transformation. The identifier is referenced from other XML elements in the policy.
TransformationMethod Yes The transform method to use in the claims transformation. Each claim transformation has its own values. See the claims transformation reference for a complete list of the available values.

ClaimsTransformation

The ClaimsTransformation element contains the following elements:

<ClaimsTransformation Id="<identifier>" TransformationMethod="<method>">
  <InputClaims>
    ...
  </InputClaims>
  <InputParameters>
    ...
  </InputParameters>
  <OutputClaims>
    ...
  </OutputClaims>
</ClaimsTransformation>
Element Occurrences Description
InputClaims 0:1 A list of InputClaim elements that specify claim types that are taken as input to the claims transformation. Each of these elements contains a reference to a ClaimType already defined in the ClaimsSchema section in the policy.
InputParameters 0:1 A list of InputParameter elements that are provided as input to the claims transformation.
OutputClaims 0:1 A list of OutputClaim elements that specify claim types that are produced after the ClaimsTransformation has been invoked. Each of these elements contains reference to a ClaimType already defined in the ClaimsSchema section.

InputClaims

The InputClaims element contains the following element:

Element Occurrences Description
InputClaim 1:n An expected input claim type.

InputClaim

The InputClaim element contains the following attributes:

Attribute Required Description
ClaimTypeReferenceId Yes A reference to a ClaimType already defined in the ClaimsSchema section in the policy.
TransformationClaimType Yes An identifier to reference a transformation claim type. Each claim transformation has its own values. See the claims transformation reference for a complete list of the available values.

InputParameters

The InputParameters element contains the following element:

Element Occurrences Description
InputParameter 1:n An expected input parameter.

InputParameter

Attribute Required Description
Id Yes An identifier that is a reference to a parameter of the claims transformation method. Each claims transformation method has its own values. See the claims transformation table for a complete list of the available values.
DataType Yes The type of data of the parameter, such as String, Boolean, Int, or DateTime as per the DataType enumeration in the custom policy XML schema. This type is used to perform arithmetic operations correctly. Each claim transformation has its own values. See the claims transformation reference for a complete list of the available values.
Value Yes A value that is passed verbatim to the transformation. Some of the values are arbitrary, some of them you select from the claims transformation method.

OutputClaims

The OutputClaims element contains the following element:

Element Occurrences Description
OutputClaim 0:n An expected output claim type.

OutputClaim

The OutputClaim element contains the following attributes:

Attribute Required Description
ClaimTypeReferenceId Yes A reference to a ClaimType already defined in the ClaimsSchema section in the policy.
TransformationClaimType Yes An identifier to reference a transformation claim type. Each claim transformation has its own values. See the claims transformation reference for a complete list of the available values.

Input and output claims used in claims transformation need to be distinct. The same input claim cannot be used as the output claim.

Example

For example, you may store the last version of your terms of services that the user accepted. When you update the terms of services, you can ask the user to accept the new version. In the following example, the HasTOSVersionChanged claims transformation compares the value of the TOSVersion claim with the value of the LastTOSAcceptedVersion claim and then returns the boolean TOSVersionChanged claim.

<BuildingBlocks>
  <ClaimsSchema>
    <ClaimType Id="TOSVersionChanged">
      <DisplayName>Indicates if the TOS version accepted by the end user is equal to the current version</DisplayName>
      <DataType>boolean</DataType>
    </ClaimType>
    <ClaimType Id="TOSVersion">
      <DisplayName>TOS version</DisplayName>
      <DataType>string</DataType>
    </ClaimType>
    <ClaimType Id="LastTOSAcceptedVersion">
      <DisplayName>TOS version accepted by the end user</DisplayName>
      <DataType>string</DataType>
    </ClaimType>
  </ClaimsSchema>

  <ClaimsTransformations>
    <ClaimsTransformation Id="HasTOSVersionChanged" TransformationMethod="CompareClaims">
      <InputClaims>
        <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="TOSVersion" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim1" />
        <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="LastTOSAcceptedVersion" TransformationClaimType="inputClaim2" />
      </InputClaims>
      <InputParameters>
        <InputParameter Id="operator" DataType="string" Value="NOT EQUAL" />
      </InputParameters>
      <OutputClaims>
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="TOSVersionChanged" TransformationClaimType="outputClaim" />
      </OutputClaims>
    </ClaimsTransformation>
  </ClaimsTransformations>
</BuildingBlocks>
