You can enable e-mail and dotted name login support in the following location of the Windows Registry:
HKLM\Software\Novell\Xtier\Configuration\XSrv\Authentication Domains\DNS_or_IP_Address
At the authentication DNS or IP address entry under the authentication domains key, you can add DWORD values to control dotted name support and e-mail name support. The table below shows these values and their possible settings.
Table C-1 DWORD Values and Settings Used to Control Dotted Name and e-Mail Name Support
|
Type of Login Name Support |
Setting |
|---|---|
|
Dotted Name Support |
1 or 0 (default) |
|
E-Mail Name Support |
1 or 0 (default) |
At the context entry under the authentication DNS or IP address key, you can add DWORD values to control whether the entered name is attempted as an appendage to the context and whether to attempt an LDAP search from the context. The table below shows these values and their possible settings.
Table C-2 DWORD Values and Settings Used to Control Dotted name and e-Mail Name Searches
|
Type of Search Attempt |
Setting |
|---|---|
|
Append Context |
1 (default) or 0 |
|
LDAP Search |
1 (default) or 0 |
If you specify the Dotted Name Support value as 1 (enabled) at the authentication domain entry, then LDAP Search at the authentication context is always attempted.
NOTE:The registry does not allow a “\” in a key name. This means you cannot use a dotted context in the configuration.
NOTE:A new version of the Middle Tier Server (3.1.4) released with Support Pack 1 supports dotted names and e-mail names by default (that is, it is always on), as long as LDAP search is set up correctly.
