User Names on Windows Systems
Rational Statemate and Windows store user names differently. This can result in some confusion. Windows stores user names with specific case, but allow sloppy entry of the user name when logging in. For example, if the user name is KSmith, Windows accepts all of the following names:
This problem commonly occurs when you create projects. If KSmith creates a project called TEST, and enters “ksmith” in the Manager field, when KSmith attempts to open the project, he is not offered TEST as one of the projects to open. This is due to the case of the user name: Rational Statemate queries the network and finds that the user name is KSmith, compares this against the user name entered (“ksmith”) and decides that he is not the manager of TEST.
Either be careful when entering the names of project managers and members or change all Windows user names to lowercase characters.
