Enable Auto-alias by Email
Many FTC end-users have different usernames in different applications and domains. By the same token, the same FTC end-user may have different usernames in different auth clients. For example, a user by the name of John Doe II may have the following usernames:
user1
in VPNuser_one
in a web appu1
as a system adminuser1@company.com
on an email server
FTC allows for different usernames to be attributed to the same user so that only one token needs to be assigned to that user. It does this by providing an Auto-alias by Email option, which, once turned on, enables FTC to automatically put different usernames in an alias if they use the email address.
By default, Auto-alias by Email is disabled, you can enable it using the following procedures:
- On the main menu, click Settings>Realm to open the settings page of the current realm.
- Scroll down the page until you see the Auto-alias by Email option.
- Click the Auto-alias by Email button to enable it.
It is important to note that aliased users must be in the same realm. Usernames with the same email address are still set as unique users if they are in different realms, even when Auto-alias by Email is enabled.
