Many pieces of software that are LDAP aware connect to the DN of a user for
authentication purposes. The DN usually looks like this;
CN=userid,OU=someou,DC=corp,DC=com. As I understand it the initial CN is
derived from the obejct name in AD. Is there any way to change this
default? And is it advisable? Simply put, we normally create our users
with a more friendly DN, and they type in their samAccountName.

Anybody try something like this?

CN= are transparent for the end-user and have to be typed for a full LDAP
connection against the Directory. So far I know this can't be changed.
