Re: username syntax for bind/auth

I see some talks of a way to workaround this to allow OpenLDAP to bind with
UPN, but then some other strings say it is not possible...

Anything's possible, if you modify the code yourself.

What is the definitive answer here...

Tell the apps people to bind using the
provided DN/password, search for the user with the sAMAccount name they have,
then rebind with that DN and password for password verification?

Yes, that's the typical approach.

So I've got everything working with my OpenLDAP passthrough to AD... one last
thing (I think).

Is there a way to make OpenLDAP accept username@domain.com instead of the full DN?
