Renaming a Resource

When users log into a BPM application, they must enter their resource name. Initially, each user’s resource name is established as the value that is stored in an attribute in an LDAP source. The LDAP attribute is specified when you create an LDAP container.

After a resource is added to an LDAP container, you can specify a name different than the one stored in the LDAP source attribute. This can be done in the following ways:

  • On the Create Selected Resources dialog. This dialog is displayed when you do one of the following:
  • Using the Rename/Move Resource function. Note, however, that this function can be used only with a BPM resource, that is, it cannot be a candidate resource. This function is described below.
    Note: Only one case variation of a resource name is allowed, across all LDAP containers. For example, if there is already a resource with the name "Clint Hill", you cannot create a resource with the name of "clint hill".

Use the following procedure to assign a new resource name to a resource using the Rename/Move Resource function.

Procedure

  1. Select the LDAP container that contains the resource you want to rename, then click Show Resources.
  2. From the resource list, select the desired resource, then click the Rename/Move Resource () icon.
  3. In the Name field on the Edit Selected Resources dialog, enter the new name for the resource.
  4. Click Save to save the changes and close the dialog.
