LDAP with 2008r2 active directory

[dgainor123]

Since active directory does not have a user id, but uses samaccountname, I am trying to use that for the user.idattribute. that is not working. If I use cn and log in with the full name it works. What am I doing wrong?

host.name="ldap.mydomain.com"

That does look like a weird issue. As discussed here: 

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/configuring-aem6-apache-directory-service.html

we  map User Id attribute to uid. 

Lets see if other community members have come across this issue. 

I will check with support as well.

I only got one response for this, so it must not be an issue with anyone else.

I ended up renaming the users in Windows Active Directory to the same as their login. So the cn is now the same as the login id.

I then changed the user.idattribute to cn.
