The UPN is the UserPrincipleName. This would look like [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the preferred method of authentication with windows Active Directory and uses the Windows global catalog to determine user information. This is significantly faster than full LDAP as the Windows Global Catalog only contains a subset of information, but it also includes information on every account within your Active Directory forest so the prefix of a domain name is not required.
If you Windows Active Directory DDNS is correctly configured you should not need anything else to authenticate users in your domain. I have just verified that creating a user with a samaccountname matching one in Active Directory works just fine without needing to configured AREA LDAP Authentication. Immediately after adding the account to Remedy I was able to logon using that account and the associated windows password.

I have a similar situation. My User search filter within the AREA form has "samaccountname=$\USER$". We were having a External Authentication problem. We have since changed our HOST NAME to a specific IP address of a domain controller. It was set to the domain, now that is it getting more users, we tried a specific Domain controller by name. We still got problems. So now I changed it to a specific DC's IP address. The errors haven't come back yet.
