using samaccountname together with userprincipalname

[MarcelRabe]

Hi,

we are using the userprincipalname (user at domain.com) to uniquely identify users on the UME. Is there a way howver, to have users logon with just the username and to have the portal add the at_domain.com? This prevents a lot of typo's......

Note that samaccountname cannot be used

Hy Marcel,

what do you mean with sAMAccountName could not be used?

I found tutorials mappig the sap username to the uid - in microsoft ad the uid is sAMAccountName, or am I wrong?

Hi Tom,

thank you for replying to an very old message. We've found a work around for our problem, but to explain why samaccountname could not be used: our portal is connected to two domains and some identical sammaccount names exist in both domain, so the portal cannot decide which sammacountname to use when a user logs on.

Our solution was technically simple, but an organisational hazzard......replace all duplicates

cheers

Marcel
