Notes

  1. For faculty and staff this attribute is displayed in the UH online directory simply as "Name."    The "Name of Record" below it refers to Common Name.
  2. For WPMS the respective department contact enters a "Name", which is subsequently displayed in LDAP. It can be an unofficial name and may include a nickname.
  3. WPMS department contacts provide updates and corrections as needed.
  4. See also Common Name.
