I have a unique problem. We have a certain appplications that runs and uses
windows authenication in order to grant access. We discovered a slight
problem is a user name is longer than 9 characters it will not grant access.
I verified with the vendor that this is an issue. Is there anyway to mask a
username or something I can do other than change a user's name.

I don't think so. Windows stores the full name in its security database.
If you feed it a truncated name then Windows won't authenticate it,
because it would be an unknown account.
