I have made a modification to the LDAP_integration Module that for users to login using "Friendly Names", nicknames and such. The reasoning behind this is that the CN of a user in an LDAP database can sometimes be fairly cumbersome as most of us know, I for example would be Jeremy G. Devoid on the server I am connecting to. To make sign-ins easier I have created a "Friendly Name Lookup" additon to the LDAP module, it is optional and the admin can turn it on or off. The look up is based on key fields, on the LDAP server, that he admin desires, such as the cn and nickname fields. I am just wondering if anyone is interested in it? If so how exactly do I post for peer review?

Forgot to mention that currently the documentation for my modifications is not the greatest, but if people would like this module I will find time to document it better. If Pablo Brasero Moreno or Moshe Weitzman happen to read this THANK YOU for giving me a great starting point to add my extension, it made my life 100 times easier. If I fogot anyone else who helped on this module before I worked on it sorry for missing you. You are thanked as well.

The creating and submitting a patch page describes the process, and the top level page patches gives a brief overview.

So, create your patch, submit an issue against the LDAP module, and attach your patch.
