Manage Aliases

If a user has multiple accounts in BusinessObjects Enterprise, you can link the accounts using the Assign Alias feature. This is useful when a user has a third-party account that is mapped to Enterprise and an Enterprise account. By assigning an alias to the user, the user can log in using either a third-party user name and password or an Enterprise user name and password. Thus, an alias enables a user to log in via more than one authentication type. In the CMC, the alias information displays at the bottom of the Properties dialog for a user. A user can have any combination of BusinessObjects Enterprise, LDAP, AD, or NT aliases.
