A Name object allows you to represent a user or server name so that you can access the parts of the name as properties. Use createName in Session to create a Name object and specify a name. If the name is in the form of a hierarchical name, it is treated as a hierarchical name; otherwise, it is treated as a flat name. Use getUserNameList to get a vector of Name objects representing the current user name and alternate user name; use getUserNameObject to get a Name object representing the current user name; use getUserGroupNameList to get a vector of Name objects representing the groups to which the current user belongs.
