If you happen to create a JNDI adapter that references the hostname and at some stage upgrade Windchill, the hostname is migrated to the new system. That can cause confusion as it may seem that the upgraded system is referencing the source, allowing cross-talk.
What is the supported method to rename the JNDI Adapter?
It would need to at least address the name in Info*Engine and the wt.federation.org.directoryServices property. This article asks the question, but does not answer it:

Solved! Go to Solution.
To prevent cross talk in the target system, I makes sure that any old hostnames are redirected on the target's hosts file to 127.0.0.1. Once upgraded, its fairly easy to edit on IEConf folder. In my case, I had a JNDI adapter for ActiveDirectory that was used for esignature. It was easy enough to not migrate this and recreate it via the UI after upgrade.
How would you suggest to handle the disconnected participants if the adapter is rebuilt outside of the upgrade?
Looks like this might work...
Some notes on this solution:
This may indeed come handy.
However, a noob question, what would be the implications of cross-talk occurring?
