Rename users display name from LDAP

my OBIEE 10.1.3.4 does user authentication from LDAP on our domain Active Directory..
a users display name was mis-spelled in Active Directory.. I corrected the mis-spelling.. but BI still shows it wrong..
when the user is created is the display name then stored in an ATR file or somewhere in the catalog..
were do I go to change it.. or how do I get it to update from Active Directory again..

If the display name is really bothering the user, then you can do a work around like letting users to set their own display name by enabling the enable any user to set the value of the variable option for the DISPLAYNAME variable in the LDAP init block and calling it in the front end using NQSSetSessionValue().
Hope this helps.

Customising a users display name AD

Our company wants us to change the users display name from "SN, GivenName" to "GivenName SN (Company)"
I've had a play around with ADSI edit and ad modify etc and while changing the name order is straightforward, I cannot get the "company" to show in the DisplayName. Does anyone know if this is actually possible? And if so how?
Thanks in advance

As paul said there is no inbuilt way to append your company name is display names.
You can use scripts if you want to update in a mass,

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

How to show users display name and email address in open social widget?

Hello experts,
Is it possible to retrieve users display name and email address with opensocial javascript e.g. Login widget seems to load user data (and userData.firstname) during the site init. Is this something that could be consumed or is there some opensocial data request that could/should be used. Any working sample widget spec would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ville

Hi Ville,
in the logon widget, we also use the data retrevied from siteInit.loadData.data.user. However, this widget is part of the out of the box openSocial widgets, it is being released with the product code, not as a separate OS widget deployed on HANA Cloud Platform.
If you'll do window.parent.siteInit you'll probably will get the data you are looking for, but this isn't the official public API, so you can use it but we cannot commit on keeping this structure.
Why do you need this information in the widget level? Does your widget require authentication or is it for personalization needs?
The best way is to retrieve this info on the java side using HAHA Cloud Platform APIs and send them back to the client.
Look at this - SAP HANA Cloud Platform SDK >
Package com.sap.security.um.user
Interface:
User
This interface provides read access to user data and is an extension of Principal.
UserAttribute
The interface represents abstraction over a user general attribute, such as an e-mail address.
UserProvider
This interface represents the service interface which provides read access to a user implementation.

Admin Console not displaying new Users and Groups from LDAP

We created a new Realm in WebLogic, which specifies the location of the Netscape
LDAP server. Our Weblogic application, called TGSLC, is able to find the ldap
server to use for authentication. My problem is this- the Admin Console is not
displaying the new users and groups from the LDAP server. Shouldn't the WebLogic
Admin Console display any users and groups specified in the ldap server, which
is referenced in the customized Realm?

Hi Andy,
I am not sure why you are unable to see the users and groups through the
console., you should be able to. Can you post the config.xml?

Logical identifiant for User Notes synchronized from LDAP

After a synchronization from LDAP to Notes,
The user entry is created, all attributes are OK
The certificate is created and named with %uid%.id
BUT the logical name of the user in the Notes database is constructed as "%givenname%SPACEd/DOMAIN".
I don't understand the SPACE and the character d ?
Thanks for your help !

For analyze, we have synchronized 15 LDAP Users to Notes
FirstName, Lastname and login attributes are from 1 to 15 characters lenght as following :
givenname, lastname, UID
1,1,1
F2,L2,ID
F33,L33,ID3

Between 6 and 8 characters, le logical Name of the user is correct
He is constructed as %fistname% %lastname%/DOMAIN
Less than 6 or more than 8 characters, the logical name is not correct
We can show the partial path of the lotus's data directory.
I can send screenshot to an email Adress if you want
Why this ? It's not usable
PS : All certificates can be viewed without provide password !
Why the LDAP password of the user's entry is not used to open the ID ?

Retrieve all user id's from LDAP directory and populate in Oracle table.

Guys,
We've implemented LDAP authentication functionality in our application using Oracle's dbms_ldap package objects.
Now,Is there any way that I can retrieve all user ids from the LDAP directory and store in an Oracle table?
The distinguished name of authorized user as it appears in our LDAP directory is below:
dn=uid=ab0472,ou=people,ou=xyz,o=world.
Now I need to fetch all users uid's from the LDAP directory and populate in an Oracle table.Can somone help me with thoughts.
Thanks,
Bhagat

Have a look at attachments API, since this also does the same thing except that it puts the file in fnd_lobs instead of the custom table.
Thanks

"Users " Form Name from "User Definied Field Definition" does not showing

Hi everyone!
I start to implement the new SAP Connector on OIM 9.1.0 and one of steps is configure the lookup Lookup.SAP.HRMS.AttributeMapping.
I need to add more fields beyond those already exists, and in accord to Documentation, I need to create the UDF of these fields, but when I search of "Users" form name form "User Definied Field Definition" option, I receive the follow response:
"Query Failed: No Record For this Query"
Thinking about it, I think that necessary create one User Form, but...this form isn't a standard form?
What I do in scenarios like this?

Can you share your environment details. Are you trying it out in a newly installed OIM ?_
Yes, it's a newer fresh installation of OIM 9.10. We use the old version (9.03) in production environment and would like to upgrade to 9.10. This issue occur in a fresh installation in Development Environment.
The one possible reason for this may be due an improper upgrade to 910X. I actually faced this issue while I was installing/upgrading my OIM. I did the process all over again and it was just perfect. I am not sure that this might be an issue with you or not. But there is simply no othe reason for the Users from not showing uo in the "User Definied Field Definition"._
If you have taken a fresh backup of the schema just after installation, then import that backup dump and see if you are able to view the Users form. If in case you are not able to view it then your installation / upgrade is corrupt._
No, we don´t have a fresh dump of environment. We just follow the documentation and all the steps was done without problem. The SAP connector import the fields from the reconciliation using flat IDOC file, just only the standard fields. We need to add newer fields and attributes and after, we face this problem.

Using a User Store different from LDAP to identify users

Hello everybody,
I've developed a couple of authentication classes in Access Manager and
I found the constrain to use a LDAP user store very limitative.
I have to develop a class that check the credential against a table in
a database. I've no LDAP user store at all. I find all the relevant
information in the db. So I can correctly authenticate the user but I
can't "say" to the Identity Server that the user is also correctly
identified. In the code I can create a new NIDPPrincipal object with a
(null UserAuthority) setting its properties for the authenticated user.
It works but anyway I've to add a "fake" LDAP User store to be able to
check the "identify user" option in the method definition in the
Administration Console. And I presume that the Identity Server can
became unstable because it can not find the User in the user store.
I've looked at the LDAP Plugin extesion, trying to create a "wrapper"
to the db, but the documented API is only about the LDAP definition and
does not expose any interface to catch ldap search or read (or whatever
else the Indentity Server may ask to the User store) so I guess that the
LDAP access is hard-wired in the Identity server code. This approach
seems very strange because the modular architecture of the NAM solution
could work very well with other type of user stores than LDAP. I
expected to find an interface to abstract the User Authority.
I'm missing something or my argumentations are very wrong?
Thanks
Giovanni

I'm probably not really the right person but the way I see it is that
NAM supports LDAP userstores therefore it kinda makes why the LDAP code
is so heavily embedded. Maybe log an enhancement request to see if JDBC
can be supported as an authentication mechanism.

KMC Resource Eventing: Rename and display name/description

Hallo,
I'm wondering about the behavior of ResourceEvent.RENAME.
When a KMC resource is renamed, its 'old' properties can be accessed by ResourceEvent.PRE_RENAME. On ResourceEvent.RENAME, the new RID is propagated but not the new displayname and description. These are set afterwards on ResourceEvent.PROPERTY_SET. Why isn't this propagated before the RENAME event is thrown? I register with the broker in synchronous mode.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi Christian, hi Helmut,
quite interesting thread, for I'm doing this just three weeks later.
Anyhow, one answer and one question:
Christian, you talked about the SET-Template. This should be relevant for updating content, not properties. Maybe as Helmut wrote, your use case (using some UI functionality) also updates the content together with the properties. But in general, PROPERTY_SET should be the right thing.
Helmut: I need, as Christian did, the old name of the display name as well as the new one. But there is no PRE_PROPERTY_SET!?!? How to access the old name? In my use case, probably there will no other event be thrown (when renaming a collaboration room; no content, no RID change).
Hope it helps & thanks in advance

Send email (c#) using ews and set custom display name (from)

How to connect to exchange service via exchange web services send a mail and the display name is custom ?
With this code, just connect to exchange server (ews) and send a mail.
How to change my code ?
private void t() {
const string subjectBody = "test email ";
const string username = "username";
const string password = "password";
const string domain = "domain";
const string ewsURL = "http://exchangesrv/ews/exchange.asmx";
unews.ExchangeServiceBinding esb = new unews.ExchangeServiceBinding();
esb.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential( username, password, domain );
esb.Url = ewsURL;
unews.CreateItemType newItem = new unews.CreateItemType();
newItem.MessageDisposition = unews.MessageDispositionType.SendAndSaveCopy;
newItem.MessageDispositionSpecified = true;
unews.MessageType msg = new unews.MessageType();
msg.Subject = subjectBody;
msg.Body = new unews.BodyType();
msg.Body.BodyType1 = unews.BodyTypeType.Text;
msg.Body.Value = subjectBody;
msg.ToRecipients = new unews.EmailAddressType[1];
msg.ToRecipients[0] = new unews.EmailAddressType();
msg.ToRecipients[0].EmailAddress = "[email protected]";
newItem.Items = new unews.NonEmptyArrayOfAllItemsType();
newItem.Items.Items = new unews.ItemType[1];
newItem.Items.Items[0] = msg;
try {
unews.CreateItemResponseType createItemResponse = esb.CreateItem( newItem );
if (createItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[0].ResponseClass == unews.ResponseClassType.Error) {
throw new Exception( createItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[0].MessageText );
else {
Console.WriteLine( "Item was created" );
catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString() );
With this code, can connect to a exchange server (smtp) and send a mail, with a custom display name.
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtpc = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient( "exchangesrv" );
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mm = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage( "CustomDisplayName <[email protected]>", "[email protected]", "test email", "test email" );
smtpc.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential( "username", "password", "domain" );
smtpc.Send( mm );

That won't work the way you want it in EWS, like when you send via Outlook or OWA when you send a messages via EWS it's submitted via the Exchange store so the Sender Address will be resolved back to the default Reply address for whatever account your trying
to send as. If you need some sort of custom display name I would suggest you stick to SMTP or possible create a Transport Agent that would rewrite the address before its sent externally.
Cheers

Caller ID for incoming calls NOT displaying name from contacts (only displays phone # on BB Z10)

on the Z10 Whenever I receive an incoming call, the caller ID only shows the phone #, even when I have that number matched to a contact in the phone, even the call log it show the number and not the name. How do I get the caller ID to recognize and display the appropriate contact name with the phone fro an incoming call? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Akhanbilal

Thank you Arsen but, as with everyone else : (1) When you get an in-coming call, it has no call log on the phone app call log that allows you do a thing under the sun except to touch the number of the last call, and when you do, it CALLS THEM BACK. (2) On every other BlackBerry I have owned, about 10 to-date, I simply selected the last in-coming call and had a button at the bottom of the screen to allow me to ADD TO CONTACTS. (3) This does NOT exist on the Z10, and there certainly is no "Click on number, little slider pops on the right, select add to contact." Instead it dials them. Frustrating other uses have described Arsen. Further, while on the topic : (4) None of this has anything to do with 10-digit national dialing plan or anything else on swipe finger down from top in Phone App, Arsen. (5) When you swipe Phone App down, you see SETTINGS. Then, there are 13 items. I have looked at all 13 items and see nothing as you describe to select, nor any instructions on what to set the SMART DIALING to when there are 3 area codes local for my city and country code shows +1. Further, while on topic here : (6) Visual Voice Mail has been turned-on and whatever visual voice mail is, never supported on any previous BlackBerry including my 9780 before this, I have it with T-Mobile and have it turned on on the BlackBerry Z10 and it too does not work. On the positive side, I do have a work-around for BlackBerry Z10 to 2013 Toyota entune. (7) I first took a vm msg .wav file of just hello (blank will not send) and saved it on BlackBerry Z10. The Toyota entune is LOOKING for a music and will LOCK-UP if none are found. By giving it this, it worked on my 2013 Toyota entune for the 1st time ever. Yeah ! It is a little frustrating every few minutes listening to myself say HELLO. But, hey no one really notices it with all the other stuff going on NAVIGATION, radio, cell phone calls, and all the computerized alerts on 2013 Toyota even without entune. (8) What I did now was to go into Navigation and remove SYNC with MUSIC. I accomplished that after pairing to Z10 to 2013 Toyota, by CANCELLING ALL CONNECTIONS leaving only the pairing itself. Then, you must choose some connections in the pairing section of SET-UP within Navigation itself. If you cannot even get to that point, try depressing on the Navigation Screen, INTERNET at which point it will allow you access to SET-UP when you see the message NO ENTUNE APP FOUND ON YOUR BlackBerry Z10. Red-headed step-child is what we all are. Have to help each other. Arsen I appeciate you helping all of us. Seems the list is about 20 who have voiced it here in this one thread. We voice it for the 200 million BlackBerry users worldwide, all left out in the cold despite a pretty cool Z10 product. Far better than iPhone 5. I chose phone and internet. Internet comes back no BLACKBERRY Z10 TOYOTA ENTUNE APP. But, at least now I don't have to hear the music HELLO and do not also have the BlackBerry Z10 LOCKED-UP with pop up message you have to say OK to 10 million times to clear and never can actually do a thing on the BlackBerry Z10 as a result. Cannot add an in-coming call to Contacts Z10. Cannot see name and number calling me, just the bloody number, no clue who is calling ridiculous. Cannot do diddle-e-squat on BlackBerry Z10 on Toyota entune. No App. Horrendous. TAGS : Z10 no caller-id name, Z10 no app Toyota 2013 entune, Z10 add call to Contacts

Using users and groups from LDAP in ADF application

Hi there,
I'm using WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0 and JDev 11.1.2.3.0.
I configured my WL server to use the users and groups defined in my LDAP server (they display when I select the Users or Groups tab). So this works fine (I think).
Now I want to use 1 group, let's call the group ApplicationGroup, and all it's users to give them access to my ADF Application.
But I can't find proper/up-to-date info about how to do this.
I tried 2 major things:
1) I configured ADF Security to use Authentication and Authorization. Defined an Enterprise Role with the same name as in my WL server (so ApplicationGroup) then defined a
Application Role with a custom name and added the Enterprise Role to it. That Application Role I gave access to all my TF's and Web Pages. When I deploy this, It just doesn't work (Migrate Users and Groups is not checked).
2) Used the Authentication option in the ADF Security and the rest is the same as in 1). This works +-, I can login with all users so the role mapping isn't configured right I guess?
Any help or documentation that could help me?

Since we aren't using EM I had to find an other way. And I found it.
In web.xml ADF Security (I suppose) automaticly adds 'valid-users'. In my weblogic.xml I added my enterprise role as a principal to 'valid-users' and this works for me.
Thanks for the help.

Issue with renaming the package name from "Oracle" to "oracle" in windows

Hi all,
I created a project in which initially I created all the jsffs in a package Oracle/communications. In one of the jsff pages(a.jsff) I have include tag <jsp:directive.include file="/*Oracle*/communications/b.jsff"/>
But later I refactored the code and renamed the package to oracle/communications and I modified the include tag to <jsp:directive.include file="/*oracle*/communications/b.jsff"/>
But after that change also when I deploy the ear and try to access the a.jsff, I am getting the file not found exception.
Root cause of ServletException.
oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:
/adflib/oracle/communications/a.jsff: Line # 19, <jsp:directive.include file="/Oracle/communications/b.jsff" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"/>
Error: Include file not found: /Oracle/communications/b.jsff
Do I need to change any other configuration file?
The same ear when deployed in linux is working absolutely fine.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi

Windows doesn't know the difference between upper case and lowercase file names. So renaming Oracle to oracle will not change the file name.
To change the file name you have to rename it from Oracle to xxoracle and then to oracle.
