30.9.2 Changing Primary Names to Aliases and Vice Versa
To change an alias to a primary name or a primary name to an alias, use the dcecp
principal modify command for a principal or the dcecp group modify command for a
group. These commands have the following form:
principal modify name -alias {yes|no}
group modify name -alias {yes|no}
where:
name Is the primary name to be changed to an alias or the alias to be
changed to a primary name.
-alias Specifying -alias yes changes the primary name identified by
name to an alias; specifying -alias no changes the alias identified
by name to the primary name.
A principal or group can have only one primary name at a time. Before you change an
alias to a primary name, first change the primary name to an alias.
