  • 1.  Using Email as User ID along with UserName

    Posted Jun 02, 2020 12:20 PM
    Hi All,

    We have requirement to allow Email as well as UserName both as User Login ID, right we are allowing only Username as LoginID.
    We found below Coreblox solution for this requirement:

    ###############################################################################
    https://www.coreblox.com/blog/2012/08/login-to-a-siteminder-protected-resource-using-uid-or-email
    ###############################################################################

    Do we have any other better option to achieve this requirement?

    Environment:
    CA SiteMinder Policy Server: R12.8 SP2
    CA WebAgent : 12.52.106.2209
    OS : Linux

    Thanks,
    Nawal

    Hi Nawal,

    I hope you're doing well!

    The other way I can think of to achieve this is to create two user store definitions for each directory you need to support either uid or email.  One store would be configured to look up uid while the other would be configured to look up email.   Since the directories are searched in order during disambiguation, you will want the store that is expected to support the greatest number of logins to be first in the list in the Domain properties.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Pete

    Hi Peter,

    I am aware of this solution and it seems it will impact performance so is there any other way?

    Thanks,
