Configure User Name Attributes
This section describes how to reconfigure the OracleInternetDirectoryAuthenticator (OID), for example, to use mail as the User Name Attribute.
The Users section shows the User Name Attribute configured with the value mail.
The UserNameAttribute in the alternative authentication provider is usually set to the value cn. If the UserNameAttribute is not set to cn, you must make sure the settings for AllUsersFilter and UserFromNameFilter are configured correctly as shown in the table. The table illustrates the default setting using the value cn, and a required new setting using a new value in the attribute AnOtherUserAttribute.
| Attribute Name | Default Setting | Required New Setting |
|---|---|---|
|
UserNameAttribute |
cn |
|
|
AllUsersFilter |
(&(cn=*)(objectclass=person)) |
|
|
UserFromNameFilter |
(&(cn=%u)(objectclass=person)) |
|
Make the changes in the Provider Specific tab, substitute the AnOtherGroupAttribute setting with your own value.
