Neoview User Management and Security Administration Guide (R2.5)

For Active Directory, UserIdentifier is an alternative to UniqueIdentifier. These two
parameters may not exist in the same configuration description file.
UserIdentifier (Active Directory only)
This parameter is an alternative to UniqueIdentifier and is used when the attribute that
contains the user name is not part of the DN of the user. For example, AD has an attribute called
UserPrincipalName (UPN), which usually contains the user's name and the DNS name of the
domain, as in
[e-mail]
This parameter can be defined only in the default configuration file or as a Common Parameter
in HPDM. Its format is
UserIdentifier attribute
An example is
UserIdentifier UserPrincipalName
If you specify UserIdentifier, the LDAP daemon searches for the specified attribute in the
subtree under DirectoryBase to find the user's name in some instance of that attribute, then
uses several associated parameters to select the server to which to bind. Figure 4-2 is a simplified
diagram showing the use of this parameter along with others described in this section.
