- 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.

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

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);
