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.
