Assigning an External Name to a User

This section describes how to assign one or more external names to a user in the Admin Interface. You can also use sec:create-user() or sec:user-set-external-names() to assign one or more external names to a user. The external names are used to match the user with one or more Distinguished Names in an LDAP server or User Principals in a Kerberos server.

  1. Click Security in the left tree menu.

  2. Click Users.

  3. Select a user or create a new one by clicking the Create tab at the top of the User Summary window.

  4. In the User Configuration window, enter the external name for the user in the field in the External Name section. You can associate multiple external names with the user by clicking More External Name.

  5. Click OK.
