Ok, I thought about that, but if you have some silly applications 
where you can't compose the connect-string for the bind it would be 
rather nice if one can configure the OpenLDAP tu user this upn 
notation. 
Most applications must be somewhat modified to use something 
like  "[email protected]" and then you can think of using the real 
DN either.

Yes, thats in the man-page. Thank you.

So, if DN-syntax is required, the application must be modified ...
