Alias Authentication Configuration

This feature allows you to configure user attributes as aliases that can be used for access user authentication.

Operation Procedure

1. Click the User tab, and then select User Access Policy > Service Parameters > System Settings from the navigation tree.
2. Click the Config icon for Alias Authentication Configuration Settings.
3. Click Add or click the Modify icon for an alias authentication configuration. Select a user group, select the attributes to be used as aliases for authentication, and click OK.

Precautions

• A newly added or modified alias authentication configuration takes effect only after a scheduled task is executed or Validate is clicked on the alias authentication list page.
• The alias value cannot be a system-reserved name such as anonymous, byodanonymous, or computercontain. Also, it cannot contain tabs or any of the following characters: pound sign (#), plus sign (+), slash (/), question mark (?), percent sign (%), ampersand sign (&), equal sign (=), asterisk (*), apostrophe ('), at sign (@), backslash (\), quotation marks ("), left bracket ([), right bracket (]), left parenthesis ((), right parenthesis ()), left angle bracket (<), and right angle bracket (>).
• If the value of an alias attribute contains the at sign (@), use only the characters before the at sign for alias authentication. For example, use someUser in the email attribute value someUser@company.com for alias authentication.
• The value of the alias attributes must be unique for each access user.
• If the alias value is the same as the account name of an access user, UAM will take the alias value as an account name.
