Nagios Support Forum

Under admin > manage users, does the search function there only check the Username column? If so, is there a way to have it also search the Name column? We use AD to sign into Nagios and our AD usernames are often things like bz3110. If I need to access a user quickly, and I don't know their username but I do know their name, it would be handy to be able to just type the name into search and have it come up. Otherwise I have to sift through pages of users to find them. It's a minor inconvenience, but still an inconvenience.

Edit: Better subject.

Wrap your search terms in % like so:

No no, finding the user by searching their username works fine as is. It's finding them using their name that's the issue. Example: If I have a user who's username is bz3110 and who's name is Rusty Shackleford. I can search bz3110 and have that username come up. I cannot search Rusty Shackleford and have that come up. Typically, if I need to find a particular user I know that user's name, but not their AD username, which is why I'd want to be able to search using their name. Does that make more sense? I was struggling with a good way to word that in my OP.

I understand. Try my suggestion like so:
It worked for me for both username and name fields.

Pocket sand!

Derp, suppose I should have tried the % thing with name before making my clarification post lol. Shi-sha!

That works, thanks! Did not know about the % wraps.

Man, I tell you what man, like dang-ol MySQL, just type 'er in there like "percent name percent", man, even surprised me too, talkin' 'bout... dang-ol closed thread.
