Hi,

 

I would like to change the common name identifier, what are accepted variations?

cn etc. My logins are generic so the defaults dont work.

Can i use displayName / email / FirstName etc?

 

Thanks

    If your LDAP is AD then how about sAMAccountName ?

    If you have anything else then quite common name identifier (unique) is CN.

    I'd use this and do not see anything wrong with this use. Will work with most of LDAP servers.

    Thanks, but both show same thing from AD. Ie my login is domain\generalmanager, this shows up in FW, i need it to display John Smith. How do i achieve that.
