Thanks, Eric. We already have the AttributeExists and NoValues testers. I will include the NegatedStringTester.

There are some custom testers we wrote here @ UW. I believe the NegatedStringTester is what you want.

Dan,
Feel free to include these in the stand-alone GAPS package.

Hi Tim,

I played around a little and came up with this ugly thing, which I'm sure can be improved by someone who knows what they're doing with regular expressions.

^guest.+$|^.+guest$|^[^g].*$|^g[^u].*$|^gu[^e].*$|^gue[^s].*$|^gues[^t].*$|^g$|^gu$|^gue$|^gues$

But you've made your point. No one should have to code something like this to do String NOT EQUALS. I will add a string not equals tester to the pags tester package and also post the code in jira. Give me a day or two.

accomplish this using the example?

Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim,

You can do most anything with Strings out of the box with
the RegexTester, including testing an attribute for NOT
EQUALS.

Hi All. Is anyone aware of an easy way to accomplish a
NOT EQUAL operation in PAGS.  Basically, we have a
personDirectory attribute setup, and we want to create
a PAGS group that evaluates membership based on that attribute being NOT EQUAL to a specific string. An
example would be: A user is a member of "Authenticated
Users" when attribute "username" is not equal to
"guest" So far as I can tell, this is not really
possible with PAGS out of the box.  However, it seems
like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, so I'm hoping
someone has overcome this hurdle already. Thanks in
advance, Tim
