Re: Change Naming Attribute (RDN) from CN to UID

Even if assigning the RDN role to uid isn't the answer, I'd like to see if
we can do it and what other options are available. It's funny, I've ever so
briefly started looking at Java Directory Server (SunONE DS) and although
both AD/ ADAM and SunONE are LDAPv3 directories, they are very different.

I'm wondering if there are some barriers in moving to the Windows platform
for LDAP (to ADAM from iPlanet, etc.) due to the way Microsoft have
implemented ADAM. One big gripe from some of my collegues is the lack of
syntaxes defined in the original X500/ LDAP RFCs. I don't know, it seems
easy to work around, but as I've not really worked with anything other than
AD and now ADAM, I can't say.
