Status is now "Shipped" but I do not understand how the above problem can be solved with Dir Sync.
The specific problem is that Common Name is a unique identifier for each user (using a 7 character format such as 123BEJO) where the actual (and more usable) user name is stored in the Display Name attribute of their Active Directory.
You can activate DirSync to create the users automatically in Domino Directory. You can configure Domino to authenticate against AD by using cn. You should change your name pickers code to use the information in Domino Directory.
How can your suggestion solve this specific idea? I have talked to HCL support (case number CS0070625) and they could not solve it and suggested that I created an idea for it
You dont have to sync passwords ( and in my opinion you should never sync them) -- you can still authenticate against AD but then do the name mapping based on the Domino Directory person document.
Unfortunately not because the new Dir Sync feature in 11 does not sync AD passwords (not possible) and we want to integrate directly with AD
