Migrating older user IDs to a unique directory attribute
If you are using an older release, you can migrate user IDs to a unique ID, so you do not need to run the name change utility when a person's name changes in the directory. Having a constant user ID attribute eliminates the need to change a user ID when a name changes.
About this task
Sametime® provides RESOLVE mode, which lets you run the name conversion utility one time only, in a way that eliminates the need for additional conversions in the future. The Sametime Community server stores contact and privacy lists in the vpuserinfo.nsf file. RESOLVE mode migrates the VpUserInfo.nsf database, from the old user ID to the new user ID.
If you change the Sametime LDAP configuration to map the user ID to a directory attribute in the person entry that is not likely to change, you eliminate the need to run the Name Change tool when a user's name changes.
