Hello,
i am working with sametime about 20 years and have very often questions (and problems) about username changes.
Typically usernames within sametime are hierarchical (e.g. cn=firstname lastname,ou=orgunit,o=companyname) and are saved in users contact lists and with st11+ in the persistent chat database (mongodb).
When the username in my ldap repository changes (e.g common name or orgunit) the name change needs be manually be converted in my complete sametime environment.
The problems are ....
a) to get notifications about the ldap username change
b) create a rename job according to the ldap username change (csv file)
c) stop sametime environment !!
d) starting rename job
To get the best effort this should run every night
Is there a way to change the internal username-storage within sametime to a ldap field that will not change ?
- domino ldap = dominounid
- ms ldap = objectguid
This is how hcl connections handels users, so user renames will not have any affect.
Alternatively this could also be the email-address; this helps when moving users to new orgunits but not when chaning the common name.
I know there was a way within sametime on domino (preV12) to change the internal sametime name to e.g. dominounid, but this field also was shown in the sametime search bar.
local (and server) buddylist looks like this
I am not happy with this, but most customer could work with this workaround - how can i implement this in sametime 12 enviornment ?
