Hello,

I am working on migrating from OpenLDAP using the inetOrgPerson schema to 
Samba4. I would like to continue to provide backwards compatibility with our 
existing authentication service. In OpenLDAP, users are all contained inside 
the People organizational unit and referenced by uid, for example:
dn: uid=myuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

When using samba-tool to add a user, it places the user inside of the Users cn, 
and references the user via its cn entry rather than via uid:
dn: cn=myuser,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com

Is there any Samba4 or AD reason why I need to use 
cn=myuser,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com for users, or can I import them to 
uid=username,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com and use this organizational structure 
instead?
You can import them in an OU called People but they will have the rdn CN not UID, why is it like that is because we have to be compatible with the other AD implementation.
