STEPS

  1. Set the Username display format to "Use Display Name field" on each of the XA servers (open the HCI Server Configuration utility, select the eXactACCESS tab, and then select "Use Display Name Field" on the Username display format drop-down box. NOTE: A restart of the eXactACCESS server service will be required after making this change.
