4.10 Managing How Group Names Are Displayed during Name Completion

Certain fields throughout the Vibe site employ name completion (or Type-to-Find) functionality. For example, when you share an item in Vibe and you begin typing the name of a user or group in the Share with field, names of users or groups that match what you have typed so far appear in a drop-down list.

In the Type-to-Find drop-down list, Vibe includes the group name or group title, as well as secondary information about the group (either the group description or the Fully Qualified DN). This secondary information helps distinguish between multiple groups that have the same name.

Vibe allows you to determine the way group names are displayed in this Type-to-Find drop-down list.

  1. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

    1. Launch a web browser.

    2. Specify one of the following URLs, depending on whether you are using a secure SSL connection:

      http://Vibe_hostname:8080
      https://Vibe_hostname:8443

      Replace Vibe_hostname with the host name or fully qualified domain name of the Vibe server that you have set up in DNS.

      Depending on how you have configured your Vibe system, you might not be required to enter the port number in the URL. If you are using NetIQ Access Manager, the Vibe login screen is not used.

  2. Click the admin link in the upper-right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon.

  3. Under System, click Name Completion Settings.

    The following options are available:

    Primary display text: Select Name or Title. Name represents the name of the group as it appears in Vibe. Title represents the title as it appears in the LDAP directory.

    Secondary display text: Select Description or Fully Qualified DN. Description represents the description of the group as it appears in Vibe. Fully Qualified DN represents the Fully Qualified Domain Name as it appears in the LDAP directory.

  4. Click OK.
