Error description
Forename and Surname attributes are not accessible via DXL in DOORS 9.2 and above, when configured with RDS
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Surname and forename were not accessible via DXL when configured with RDS. Configure DOORS to use RDS. Ensure Forename and Surname are populated in Corporate LDAP/RDS users and use u.surname or u.forename to try fetching the value in DOORS DXL. Empty strings were returned for u.surname and u.forename
Problem conclusion
1. Surname Attribute returned forename when Surname field was empty for a name. This is corrected. When surname field is empty, an empty string is returned 2. There was no Attribute supplied by RDS to access Forename. API is supplied now to fulfill the issue These Attribute are incorporated to fit into DXL requirements. u.surname will return surname, if any, for a user and u.forename returns forename of a user. These Attributes are relevant only when configured to use the Rational Directory Server
