How to get the Alternate usernames of WTUser using API

[Navku]

Hi,

Is it possible to retrieve the value of Alternate user names of WTUser with API?

- Then no supported.

While if you just print a user, the attributes could include several UIDs, besides the one same as name, others are alternate names.

Hi ftian,

Thanks for the Reply,

Is there any use in providing alternate names for user?

[Cliff]

No really usage, just an alias of user's login name - user will have two logins and anyone can be used to login Windchill, while with same WTUser/ User Name.

- if look LDAP, you will find two UID attributes for the DN

Using WRS Principal Domain, Retrieve the user's names and all details.

Just in case someone else is searching for that here is how to do it using java API

wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier oid = wt.fc.ObjectIdentifier.newObjectIdentifier("wt.org.WTUser:123");
wt.org.WTUser theUser = (wt.org.WTUser) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(oid);
String alternateName = wt.org.OrganizationServicesHelper.getAlternateName(theUser, WTUser.ALT_USER_NAME_1);
