LDAP Server Profile name appended to Username

I have many servers setup with an LDAP connection, but this one is acting a bit strange. Normally the domain name is appended to the username but in this case whatever we name the LDAP server profile name get's appended to the username and they must login with this.

For example the LDAP Server Profile name right now was named "Primary". So all the usernames are username@Primary and they must login this way. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

username@profilename is the expected behavior for LDAP profiles, as described in the help files.

Since you are able to chose the LDAP profile name, I recommend changing the profile name to the whatever name (such as the domain) would be more intuitive for the users to type in.

If this system is using LFDS, note that the LDAP profile name in the Server configuration should match the Identity Provider name in LFDS (which is also customizable).

Ah I see, never noticed this before. It does let me update it. Can I remove it altogether? I really don't need an @ appended to the username.

The Laserfiche Server relies on this value to know (1) that it must use LDAP and (2) which LDAP profile should be used.

It's possible that in simple scenarios with only one LDAP profile and no repository or LFDS Laserfiche users, the experience could be improved to have a default of "use LDAP, and use this profile", but there is no such setting at this time.

Oh, there is a reason to have more than one ldap connection? The Repository and Forms both hook up to the ldap service separately, but you can only have 1 connection when it comes to Forms, so it must be a repository specific feature to have 2. I noticed Forms allows multiple base dis names, but the repo only allows 1.
