User Transformation Mapping

Seamless Logins, Unified Profiles

Map IdP credentials to any workstation profile—local, domain, Entra, or Microsoft — without disrupting user settings or creating duplicates.

The Problem

In many organizations, Identity Provider (IdP) usernames or UPNs differ from workstation login IDs. This mismatch often occurs due to legacy naming conventions, domain transitions, or compliance rules. The result? Duplicate profiles, broken personalization, and wasted IT effort. In many cases, users are unable to sign in to their machines at all or must remember a separate workstation login that differs from their IdP credentials. This mismatch leads to confusion, friction, and support tickets. Users lose access to their familiar environments, and administrators spend hours fixing unnecessary profile issues.

The Solution

User Transformation Mapping eliminates the need for users to remember separate workstation credentials and ensures successful sign-ins across all systems, removing login friction and confusion experienced by end users. Credenti’s UTM bridges this identity gap by intelligently mapping IdP accounts to existing workstation profiles—whether local, domain-joined, Entra-joined, or Microsoft accounts. Even when SAM names and UPN prefixes don’t align, UTM ensures users log in seamlessly to their correct desktop without losing files, preferences, or cached data.

Illustration of Credenti’s User Transformation Mapping (UTM). On the left, an IdP username such as j.smith@credenti.com  is shown, and on the right it is transformed into the correct Windows username (e.g., 775689). This visual represents how UTM bridges mismatches between cloud IdP identities and local workstation login accounts. UTM eliminates the need for separate workstation credentials, ensures users sign in seamlessly to their existing desktop profiles, and preserves all files, preferences, and cached data across local, domain-joined, Entra-joined, or Microsoft account environments.

Example: A user authenticates via Okta or Entra ID with jane.doe@company.com, but their workstation login is jdoe or jane@outlook.com. With UTM, the mapping ensures seamless login to the existing profile without disruption or duplication.

To remove login mismatches and ensure unified access, UTM supports six flexible mapping rules: SAM → UPN | SAM → Email | UPN → Email | UPN → SAM | Email → SAM | Email → UPN

Where It Matters

Hybrid IT Environments

Connect users across local AD, Entra ID, and cloud-managed devices without changing how they log in. Maintain consistent access experiences whether online or offline. Enable unified identity management across different authentication infrastructures to support hybrid deployments.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Simplify the transition of user identities from one directory to another without losing local workstation profiles. UTM makes it easy to consolidate multiple identity providers into one seamless experience. It reduces downtime and ensures business continuity during large-scale migrations.

Regulated or Legacy Domains

Maintain compliance and naming policies while delivering modern, passwordless authentication. Extend compatibility with existing SAM-based or employee ID-based systems. Provide a secure and scalable solution that works even in air-gapped or high-security environments.

The Credenti Differentiator


Offline-Ready and Secure

Operates even when disconnected from the network, ensuring users can still access their authorized profiles. Mapping validation happens locally, maintaining strong security controls. This guarantees availability, reliability, and compliance even in remote or high-security deployments.

Admin-Configurable Flexibility

Choose from six mapping rules to match diverse directory environments and user formats. Administrators can adapt mappings dynamically to support unique IT infrastructures. This flexibility reduces manual intervention and simplifies maintenance in complex enterprise ecosystems.

Profile Continuity Across Platforms

Works seamlessly with local, domain-joined, Entra-joined, and Microsoft profiles—preserving data, settings, and personalization. Users always return to their familiar environment, regardless of how they sign in. This ensures consistency and productivity across all device types and login methods.
