I don't understand why username@domain is not unique enough?
sometimes it is christian@domain.com, sometimes christian.schlatter@domain.com, sometimes it is christian.schlatter@.domain.org or even worse you can take your spouses' name and from day D you begin to be christian.blair@domain.org, and your company gets acquired and you become christian.blair@oracle.com. (Which clients without DNS/SRV can try to reach as christian.blair@sip.oracle.com, and those who pay extra respect to you using capital letters as Christian.Blair@sip.oracle.com)
The implication to sanity of data in usrloc, accounting and other tables is immense if you don't bring those to a common denominator. Any change to any name becomes a real pain. The point is names do changes, use of numbers is designed to make relations between tables invariable.
Ok, this makes sense e.g. for foreign key relationships, but isn't this more of a database specific thing? We are using our university's LDAP based identity management system to manage SIP accounts, and openser accesses this system directly through H.350. Our assumption is that the SIP proxy shouldn't care about identity management at all, so it doesn't care if it is christian.blair@domain.org or christian.blair@oracle.com.
Hi Christian!
Is LDAP case sensitive?
