I'm not very familiar with LDAP. I'm not sure what that would actually
look like.
What we have now is where users login to a terminal using their number.
However with web based logins they do use their email address.
I'd have to check tomorrow in the LDAP and check what a fully qualified
name actually is.
Fully qualified name is a name in the form of user@domain. I.e. if you
have [domain/mydomain] in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf the fully qualified name
will be number@mydomain.
If they are used to login with their email address, you could also
switch name attribute to the email address attribute if it is in LDAP.
See ldap_user_name in `man sssd-ldap` and use_fully_qualified_names and
full_name_format in `man sssd.conf`.

How about using fully qualified names instead?
