Hello
I wanted to ask you, how do you handle double names in Domino? e.g. John Smith
Another Question: Does the adminP Task change names on application documents only in authors and readers fields, or also in names fields?
Thanx for any answer…
Subject: Unique Org
Hi Frederic,
I usually recommend using the Unique Org field when registering people, this will be part of their full name, so you might have John Smith/JS/Org and another John Smith/JOS/Org etc and give them shortnames matching the unique org.
Its on the last page if you check the Advanced checkbox while registering.
Subject: it depends
Changing of names in Reader/Author or Names fields through AdminP solely depends of ACL settings for a database.See second field on ‘Advanced’ tab of ACL and read about it in documentation.

What do you mean by double Names?
John Smith is a very common username.
If you are talking about the middle name, I generally don’t use it. Just use the first name and make sure the last name is always populated.
Subject: Re:
@Slawomirthanx for the hint.
Well i tried to set it to “change all names field”. Then i renamed the user with the admins “rename” function (and providing cert.id and pw). Strange is, when i runned the adminp task with “tell adminp process all”, the name is immediatly change in the NAB, but not in my application (??). Does it take a while?
@Sebastian or @all
Yes John Smith is a very common name. What do you do if you got like 3 John Smiths in your company?
I’m mostly a developer, or administrate mostly very small environments. But my recent project has to cover that issue.
Thanx for any answer
Subject: Hi
Sorry, I understand now.
Well, I start with the first letter of the middle name or the second lastname, whatever is better.
In large organizations you will have a lot of those. It’s better if you can use the middle name.
And for the adminp, it can take a while. Rename is a bit tricky sometimes. You should check the connections, make sure the admin4.nsf is replicating with pull push and not only push, things like that. (If HUB and spoke)
