Answer 1

a gotch with the user ID is that AD truncates the username, so a user with a long name "j_reallylongname" will have a samid (Security Account Manager (SAM) account name) which is truncated. (j_reallylong)

so when fetching usernames, make sure you verify against the AD before using it.

When i've got the upns, so i run a dsget query to get the samid then use that to build the identity reference.
