I follow what you are doing with the String array to get only the name
and understand where to put that into the file.  What is the point of
the last 2 deviceInfo.set lines?  Is that to reset the clientName back
to the unaltered version?

You could try this...

 

   // Always determine the client name from the user's identity 

    String clientName = MPSClientNames.fromAccessToken( accessToken ); 

              String[] client = clientName.Split('-');    

                        clientName = client[1];

                        deviceState.put(COOKIE_LOGIN_CLIENT_NAME,
clientName); 

      deviceInfo.setDetectedAddress( Request.UserHostAddress );

    deviceInfo.setClientName( clientName );

Just wanted to pass along that I tried this method below, which was
posted by another person (forget who, sorry!) and it works nicely thus
far.  

All the printers now show up as domain-username.  That doesn't match
exactly with what was mentioned below as the original poster said they
only see the username.  I would ideally like ONLY the username, so can
anyone tell me what I should tweak to have it show only the username?
Perhaps it's a back end setting and not something I need to change in
the code?

--------------- 
I saw that someone already responded with the published Citrix 
solution, however that method disables workspace control. 

We therefore took a different route:  We modified the Session.cs file 
and left workspace control enabled.  Now we get User Name (not 
domain-username) for the Client ID AND we have workspace control 
still. 

We are still testing this method to assure no other problems, but so 
far it looks good. 

Session.cs info: 

Here is the original Code 

Change these lines to decide how the client name is chosen: 

    // Get the client name to use (create a new one, if necessary) 
    String clientName =
(String)deviceState.get(COOKIE_LOGIN_CLIENT_NAME); 
    if (!MPSClientNames.isValidUniqueName(clientName)) { 
        if( config.getWorkspaceControlConfiguration().getEnabled() ) { 
            clientName = MPSClientNames.generateUnique(); 
            deviceState.put(COOKIE_LOGIN_CLIENT_NAME, clientName); //
Remember for future sessions 
        } else { 
            // Use the old client name format when Workspace Control is
disabled for 
            // compatibility (MPS/U and MF1.8 need the old format to do
roaming 
            // reconnection). 
            clientName = MPSClientNames.fromAccessToken( accessToken ); 
        } 
    } 

For example, replacing the lines above with this should always use the 
client name derived from the username: 

    // Always determine the client name from the user's identity 
    String clientName = MPSClientNames.fromAccessToken( accessToken );
