LDAP for MC - Support authentication through sAMAccountName and for MS ActiveDirectory DC as LDAP Server

In our environment we typically login to Active Directory with our sAMAccountName. By default the LDAP.properties file has authUserIDAttribute as CN but the CN does not look like our usual username (or sAMAccountName). As of now sAMAccountName is not supported for configuring LDAP on CDC's Management Console. Also MS ActiveDirectory domain controller as LDAP server and use of DC principals should be supported. Enhancement will help minimize risk of security vulnerabilities to our management console and only allow certain users to access it. This will also allow us to use what we already have in place for LDAP server. Our work around is that we are currently on a older version of Management Console without LDAP configuration. But we are working on upgrading Management Console and access server to the latest version and also configure LDAP.

    I'd be glad if this RFE could be implemented. Also in our case, we need the LDAP authentication to use GSS-API.
