LDAP import from active directory works, but now i have another problem.
I can only login with the 'display' name from active directory.
And the 'display name' is not always the same as the login name in active directory.
Example my login name is tomw, my display name is Tom Wuyts.

In that case i can login with Tom Wuyts and the password from active directory but Tom Wuyts is not a member of a group only tomw is a member.

Is i possible to configure alfresco so he uses the login names of active directory instead of the display name.
