Is it possible to set up LDAP username aliases?
807573Nov 16 2006 — edited Nov 17 2006I recently built a DS5.2 environment and user authentication is working fine for telnet/ssh. My problem is that I have a number of users who use previously configured Hummingbird xterm shortcuts using rexec in order to login to a bunch of servers. When they attempt to login using rexec, it works for some of them and not others. Upon further investigation, I found that there seems to be a 14 character limit in rexec.
The ldap usernames follow a firstname.lastname convention, so therefore anyone with a ldap username longer than 14 characters will get a "username is too long" error. However telnet/ssh works fine for these long usernames.
Is there anyway to set up a username aliases in LDAP. I want to keep the firstname.lastname naming convention but set up an shorter alias for those users with long usernames, so they can continue using rexec. Is this possible?
