LDAP Authentication using an unique imutable ID
396969Jul 15 2009 — edited Jul 16 2009My work's enterprise LDAP server was recently changed to use a "unique immutable ID" as the "uid" attribute. The "unique immutable ID" is a meaningless number as far as the user is concerned.
The previous "uid" attribute is now the "pdsLoginID" attribute which I want to continue to use on the login page. Therefore, users are unable to authenticate with the new LDAP Server using the following LDAP DN string.
uid=%LDAP_USER%,ou=People,o=students.pima.edu,o=cp
Can I somehow change the LDAP DN string to use the "unique immutable ID"? Or is there a way to convert the "pdsLoginId" attribute to the "uid" attribute?
I would appreciate any assistance.
