Usage Guidelines

The display name identifies a user but cannot be used for authentication. For example, domain accounts (login names) are used to implement authentication on users within an enterprise. To identify each user, you can configure the real name of each user as the display name.

Users can share the same display name.

Example

# Set the display name of user test to Tom.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] user-manage user test
[sysname-localuser-test] alias Tom
