Okay. Identity Integration Feature Pack can help me. ;-)
Is it possible to define a mapping table in IIFP which
defines that for example:

ADAM dm_user-object:

attribute datatype value
user_name char(32) surname_givenname_title
user_address char(80) givenname.surname@abc.com

Active Diretory user-object:

attribute datatype value
sn unicode string surname
givenName unicode string givenname
mxExemail.. ?? givenname.surname@abc.com
