Subject: [PATCH docs 2/2] pveum: active directory: document user attribute name option
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 16:03:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004160335.6-3-me@dualfroz.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261004160335.6-1-me@dualfroz.com>
AD realms support the 'user_attr' option like LDAP realms, but it is

use case of logging in with the user principal name.
