Yes you can achieve this. The Authentication Login Name field (field id 117) on the User form interacts with the User Name field in the Login dialog box according to the following rules: If the Authentication Login Name field is present on the User form (this field has a value of your LDAP login name) the value contained in this field is used for authentication (Refer +VL call in plugin logs) instead of the name entered in the User Name field in the Login dialog box. For backwards compatibility, if the Authentication Login Name field is not present on the User form or the value in this field is NULL, then the user is authenticated with the information entered in the User Name field in the Login dialog box and that authentication will be based on Local remedy authentication. To accomplish this you MUST have Cross Reference Blank Password parameter set to True (i.e. Blank password in User form for the user).

One question for you. In my org. We have existing user profiles if we need to authenticate those users without changing their login name. Is there any way to achieve it. I seem one of the BMC doc and tried creating login alias name Field ID 117. But nothing works. Regards Karthick On Monday, 15 April 2013, Hullule, Kiran wrote: ** Glad to help.

Use the ldap.exe from the AR Server and see if it works on that. Does the bind user have any double byte characters for a password? There used to be (and I think there still is) an issue with the AR Server not able to authenticate users that have double byte characters for a password. _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ -- Thanks and Regards, Karthick S _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
