[389-users] ug, a snag. Posix Username vs WikiName

Ug, I could have sworn I looked at this and it was OK, but now I see
it is not :-(   I could have sworn I tested this but I must have
goofed something in my test.  Maybe forgot to remove the local
/etc/passwd entry or something.

Username - I'd like to have a Posix username like "amckay", but a wiki
username like AlanMcKay

I guess it all goes by the "User ID" field from the main page.

My problem is that I have existing wikis so need usernames like
WIkiNames.   I tested this and it works fine with the apache ldap auth
module.

But I'd also like to keep the existing Posix usernames.   Though I
guess in a pinch I could easily switch existing Posix usernames over
to a wikiname.  But I'm certain I'll have a lot of complaints about
it.

Is there anything I can do here?
