Changing a users authid

Is it advisable/permitted to modify a users authid to something more appropriate for the user? eg:

change authid "johnsmith@scalix.domain.com" to "JohnSmith"

I know this is done with AD integration but how about on a standalone box ?

thanks.

You can change a user's authid whenever you like provided that it is unique on that server. There is an implicit (although not enforced) expectation that the authid is unique enterprise-wide.

Use the ommodu command:

ommodu -o "User Name" --authid newauthid

Cheers

Dave.
