IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

User profile alias.

Usualy the network account is "name.surname", so I'd like to have the same on the IBM i user profile. For example: CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(SURNAME) TEXT('Name Surname') ALIAS('name.surname').


Use Case:

When the user connects to IBM i server from a client he must login with his IBM i user profile; in that moment he doesn't know what kind the server is, so he usualy inserts the network account instead of the IBM i user profile.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    I suggest to implement SSO (which contains a profile mapping feature).
