Grid view column heading for Name

Question

Hi,

In our environment the CN (Name) for a user in AD is randomly generated to ensure uniqueness as everything uses UPN or Display Name for identification.

Is it possible to hide the Name column from grid views as it is not in the list? If not, can I change the column heading to Unique ID?

Thanks

Update 2018

Starting with version 2018.1 Adaxes the setting is configured in the Web interface configurator. For details, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/PropertyForDisplayNames.

Hello,

Actually, it is possible to configure Adaxes Web interface to use the Display Name property for the Name column instead of the Name property. To do this, you'll need to modify the Web interface source files:

1. Close the Web Interface Customization tool.

2. Open the Web.config file with a text editor. By default, it is located in folder C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface\<Web Interface type> on the computer where the Web Interface is installed.

3. Add the displayNameProperties attribute to XML element softerra.adaxes\web.ui.

    <!-- Adaxes settings -->
    <softerra.adaxes>
       <web.ui displayNameProperties="" ...>

4. Specify displayName in the displayNameProperties attribute:

       <web.ui displayNameProperties="displayName" ...>

5. Save the file.

6. Repeat the same for other Web interfaces, if necessary.

For objects that don't have a display name, the Name property will be used.
