I made a mistake. ldapsearch does in fact return a uid. I do not manage the ldap server, so I did not know how it was setup. I think when we authenticate against postgress, it takes our e-mai addresses, finds the uid/dn (which in our case is a cryptic serial number) and then attempts to authenticate against the ldap server. I do not think web2py needs to be patched. I just need to somehow, when the user registers with their e-mail address, find their their uid and store that as the user name. While still allowing them to login with their e-mail address. I will think about it and see what I can do. Thanks for the help.
