Has anybody changed their uid entries in the LDAP? Also can anybody help me find the manuel for the LDAP Directory Server for Luminis 3.3.x.x or does how to set up a service account on the directory server that a radius server can use to authenicate against the LDAP?

Don't know if its applicable

We are using Luminis IV and I remember hearing some discussion over the changes in the way uid is used. In IV, the UID is the immutable ID of a user and cannot be changed. In fact, the node in LDAP for a user at the location uid=xxx,ou=People,o=xxx,o=cp has the UID as the name of the node, as well as an attribute inside of that node.

You can however, change your "pdsLoginId" easily, and this would change the username, hopefully satisfying the end user's requirement.

If you are trying to point another system to the Luminis LDAP for authentication, you can try to bind using a user's credentials to allow or deny access. Luminis LDAP is just a standard implementation, so any system that can leverage LDAP authentication should be able to use it. I am not sure if this is what you are asking though.
