Smart Match; On • Off
Smart Match cross-references the IBM i profiles that are being imported against the existing Access Authenticator user profiles and attempts to match them. It takes the Full Name (listed in the New/Edit User screen) and searches IBM i profiles that include:
- The first and last name with a space.
- The first and last name with no space.
- The first initial followed by the last name with no space.
The match looks for these strings in the IBM i profile's name and description fields. For example, for Access Authenticator user "Shirley Matchwell," Access Authenticator will match IBM i profiles that contain the following in either the user profile Name or Text description fields: "shirley matchwell," "shirleymatchwell," and "smatchwell."
