As long as you can configure your application on what to query via LDAP (AD)
it should not be a problem. Remember AD uses SAMAccount for account names.
Basically what I did was this. I downloaded a LDAP query tool. And did some
research on what AD uses for accounts. Next I changed the parameters in RT
(an open source helpdesk system) to query on SAMAccount for the
usernames...it takes some time playing with different combinations but, it
can be done.

Do this:

1) Do a google search on AD and what fields AD uses for what.
2) Download a ldap browser (their are many)
3) Join the newsgroup for your application
