how to get a LDAP user with Identity.Name?

I've a fairly simple pb:
In an ASP.NET app, I ask for the user identity using:

(WindowsPrincipal)(Page.User)).Identity.Name;

I'm using Windows integrated authentication + impersonation.
The value returned is "DOMAIN\MYLOGON"
I'm trying to look for more info in the LDAP about this user, but I
have some problem getting the attribute matching that string.

For the login auth. the attribute "samaccountname" sounds perfect to
me. For the domain, it does not sound that there is a standard way to
get it.

The question is: is it normal that I must decompose the
"DOMAIN\MYLOGON" string and make the LDAP query only based on MYLOGON
value? Or is there a way to query LDAP with the whole string ? with
which property?

Thanks
