This is the original name of this OID.
The X500 has been added by the LDAP people to avoid the name collision
with pilotAttributeType.44 from RFC1274 and make things a _little_ simpler.

Well, when people say they want UniqueIdentifier, it should be likely
they want 2.5.4.45 more than pilotAttributeType.44 from RFC1274, because
this one is not used for anything.
But in many cases, they truly want userId, pilotAttributeType.1 from
RFC1274 and got the name wrong.
