Enabling Auto-alias by Email

Many FIC end-users have different usernames in different applications and different domains. By the same token, a single FIC user may have different usernames in different FIC applications. For example, John Doe II may have the following usernames:

• user1 in VPN
• user_one in a web app
• u1 as a system admin
• user1@company.com on an email server

FIC allows for different usernames to be attributed to the same user (i.e., same person) so that only one token (FTM or FTK) needs to be assigned to the same user. It does this by providing an Auto-alias by Email option, which, once turned on, enables FIC to automatically put usernames into an alias if they use the same email address.

Auto-alias by Email is disabled by default, but you can enable it using the following procedures:

1. Click Settings>Realm>General.
2. Scroll down until you see Auto-alias by Email and select it.

Once Auto-alias by Email is enabled, all usernames with the same email address are automatically set as an alias under the same username.

It is important to note that aliased users must be in the same realm. Usernames with the same email address but are in different realms are still set as unique users, even when the auto-alias feature is enabled.
