Customize common name generation


After installation, you can change the order of common names generated by WebSphere Portal. The default, WebSphere Portal generates common names that consists of the user's first name followed by the last name. You can change this order by editing the follow line in wp_root/shared/app/config/puma.properties:

puma.commonname = {0} {1}

where {0} represents the first name and {1} represents the last name. In this pattern, the numeric values of {0} and {1} represent firstname+" "+lastname. The user's first name always replaces the {0}, and the last name always replaces {1}. To generate names that consist of the last name followed by the first name, you would change the line to read puma.commonname = {1} {0}.
