Specifying a user's login ID
Specify an LDAP attribute that is appropriate for logging in to IBM® Sametime®. If you do not perform these steps, the default LDAP attribute, DN, is used.
About this task

can select an LDAP attribute that is not likely to change when users
change their name or relocate. Here are examples of stable attributes
in some well-known LDAP servers:
- IBM Directory Server: ibm-entryUUID
- Domino® LDAP: dominounid
- Novell Directory Server (NDS): guid
- SunOne: nsuniqueid
- Active Directory: objectGUID
