One thing I was told a long time ago (I think it was RUG 2005) was not to map the sAMAccountName to the Request ID (since Request ID is supposed to be <= 15 characters) for a Vendor form on the ARDBCldap plugin.
I have always mapped the uSNCreated to Request ID and just had sAMAccountName as a separate field.

I was having the same issue. I worked around it by parsing out the userid when I stored it on my staging form like so: SUBSTRC($Request ID$, STRSTRC($Request ID$, "|") + 1, LENGTHC($Request ID$)) -----Original Message----- On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 11:42 PM, Uday Joshi <uda...com> wrote: ** Hi Nathan, I am also struggling with similar issue.

Do you have any filters configured in your ARDBC LDAP configuration? Kind regards Danny -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Aker Sent: 06 October 2011 21:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Active Directory Integration Issue with 7.6.04 ** Hello all, We're running into an issue with our Active Directory LDAP integration after a recent upgrade and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered or is encountering: We have a vendor form leveraging the ARDBC plugin to integrate with Active Directory for people data. The vendor form displays people data, with the unique attribute being the samAccountName attribute. In setting up the Vendor form, this attribute was mapped as the Request ID. When we were on ARS 7.6.00, when I ran a search against the vendor form I would see the samAccountName displayed something like "asmith" for example. After the upgrade to 7.6.04, now when I run a search on this vendor form, the samAccountName is prefixed with 00001|. So for example, where I saw "asmith" before the upgrade I now see "00001|asmith". This is obviously an issue as we are trying to map the samAccountName to the LoginID field in Remedy. Anyone seen this before or know what feature/configuration is appending the 00001 on front?
