We are upgrading some very old qpid servers in the enterprise (6.0.8) and
we use LDAP authentication. Where I might have a current ACL entry like
this:

ACL ALLOW danlangford ALL

im finding in QPID 6.1-9.0 i am needing the rule to look like this

ACL ALLOW "cn=danlangford,ou=000,ou=People,o=MyEnterprise" ALL

now in the above example i can still authenticate over HTTP or AMQP with
the user "danlangford" and i see a log message
Found 'danlangford' DN 'cn=danlangford,ou=000,ou=People,o=MyEnterprise'
but my ACLs are now going to be much more verbose, and problematic (see
below), if they have to contain the full DN.

This is particularly problematic in my enterprise because our identity team
has partitioned out all the users. see the "ou=000" (i happen to be in the
first partition). so as it stands we will need to update our ACLs and go
look up the full DN for each user manually to put into the ACL. And my
identity team said that there is no guarantee that the partition won't
change for some reason in the future and they encourage all system to
search for a user. (cn=username) with search context of
ou=People,o=MyEnterprise

Is there a way to configure to prior behavior that allowed just the
username in the ACL?
