Hello,

If I rename a Nagios XI AD user (I'de like to use userPrincipalName instead of sAMAccountName for consistency with other appliances) what would be the impact in Nagios XI? Will the contacts, timeperiods etc also be renamed? are there other consesquences to renaming users? What about dashboards and other user related settings?

Grtz

I did a bit of testing, with an AD user. The dashboard remained the same and worked without a problem. I didn't experience any weird cases.

I did notice one thing not being updated properly, which was the alias in time periods and contacts, to which I filed a bug report. #10288

Here's what I noticed -

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
        timeperiod_name user2_notification_times
        alias   Notification Times for user1

define contact {
        contact_name    user2
        alias   user1

Thanks for testing and the bug report. Ill see about strating with some low prio users. Please keep this open, I'll post my experience here.

Sounds good - happy to test what I can. Let us know if you run into any weird issues.
