I've been setting up a new instance of DFM on Linux, and have started configuring up DFM. 

I've finally figured out why it's not been working though - it's because the 'CN' for all our accounts contains a bracket. 

CN=Full Name (unixID)

This leaves me in a bit of an irritating position. I can't change my account config across my active directory - at least not very easily. 

Can I do 'LDAP auth' via the local system somehow? I can log in to my DFM box as me, and when I add my user... it recognises the account. 
But it doesn't seem to allow a password auth (not unless I set a local account, which is a route that'll mean having to wrangle with security). 

Anyone else run into this problem or got a line of investigation?

(I have a ticket open, but this feels like the sort of thing that's irritatingly difficult to 'fix' on the fly).
