Won't this explicitly force courier-authlib to query ldap for the cn
attribute? Or am I missing something?

What I really need to know is:

1. does courier-authlib, by default, query cn?
2. if so, can this be disabled?
3. if it doesn't, where should I be looking for the cause of this query?
4. if the answers to 1 and 2 are yes and no respectively can somebody
provide me with justification that I can give to our ldap admins?


thanks,

mike
