RE: Short Name vs. User Name ~Tanita Quetkroternivu 26.Feb.03 03:26 PM a Web browser Applications Development All ReleasesAll Platforms
Lotus Domino 6 provides greater control over how Domino authenticates users accessing the server from Internet clients. In Domino 5, this setting applied only to Web browsers; in Domino 6, it now applies to all Internet protocols, including LDAP, POP3, IMAP, and so on.
On the Security tab of the Server document, the setting "Internet authentication" provides two choices: "More name variations with lower security" or "Fewer name variations with higher security." Selecting "More name variations" authenticates users the way Domino 4.6 did -- users can enter any of the following as a user name when prompted by the browser or other Internet client:
Last name only
First name only
Short name
Common name
Full hierarchical name
Any alias in the User name field
Internet address
UID, if using an LDAP directory for authentication
If you select "Fewer name variations," users can enter any of the following as a user name when prompted by the browser:
Full hierarchical name
Common name
Any alias in the User name field
Internet address
UID, if using an LDAP directory for authentication
