 final String baseUid = uid.substring(0; index);
 final String differentiatorString = uid.substring(index + 1);
 if (differentiatorString.isBlank()) {
 listener.onFailure(new ElasticsearchException("profile uid [{}] does not contain a differentiator"; uid));
 return;
 }  final DomainConfig domainConfig = getDomainConfigForSubject(subject);
 // The user is from a domain that is configured to have a fixed suffix and should not auto-increment for clashing UID
