a new user based off of the LDAP Query?  I need to reprogram them to
work against Active Directory.  I don't believe AD is "PosixAccount"
or "inetOrgPerson" compliant (am I wrong)?  Even if it is, my AD
entries certainly are not compliant with these structures.  My AD
entries typically consist of a username and displayname.  The
display name contains the persons full name.  None of the other
fields are filled in.  I plan to rewrite the modules so that
displayname is queried and then broken up into proper first/last
name.  I already have the code to do this, I just need to know where
to put it.
a) [Kernel/Config.pm]
# UserSyncLDAPMap
    # (map if agent should create/synced from LDAP to DB after login)
    $Self->{UserSyncLDAPMap} = {
        # DB -> LDAP
        Firstname => 'givenName',
        Lastname => 'sn',
        Email => 'mail',
    };
b) Kernel/System/Auth/LDAP.pm
(http://doc.otrs.org/1.2/en/html/dev-custom-modules-aauth.html)
Thank you Martin and Stephan.
