Thank you all for replying...

Unfortunately the clien staff numbers is already 8 digit long, so I can't add more character in front of it Smilie

I'm still looking for a way to overcome this problem other than saying to the customer that it can't be done Smilie, based on little testing, the username with all numeric have problems when the user tries to connect to CDE GUI, an error message appeared in /var/adm/messages:

Jun 13 16:23:37 uajkt1 /usr/dt/bin/ttsession[27496]: [ID 848021 daemon.error] _Tt_iceauth::make_auth_cookie(): timeout in locking authority file '/home/13598029/.TTauthority'

It seems that DT unable to create .TTauthority in the user's home directory Smilie
