roll_number (as stored as kdirUrn in LDAP and as HRID in staffdb) does not ordinarily have the prefix of 'K'. It has a prefix within this simplified carddb as in the real card database system, multiple systems feed data into it and this field has various prefixes depending on the source of the data (card users coming from the HR system have one prefix, coming from Student Records they have another, and another prefix for a 3rd system. Those individual systems do not have the prefix present in their identifiers).
Perhaps I have got things backwards. Given that I can't change there being a prefix in carddb, what would be the best way to handle this?
