  RE: (ITS#5856) adauth overlay contribution   Fair comments -
the package was basically wrapped up from an internal packa= ge
used in HP (which indeed has internal processes to map ED
accounts to th= eir equivalent AD DNs). The desire was to donate
the package rather than se= e it live only in HP - at least
someone might find a use for it. Clearly yo= u think that the
friction of installation limits its utility - and that's a=
perfectly fine observation.  A lot of the "mapping" name stuff
was legacy from when there was a lot more=  functionality in the
package, since it did NTLM authentication as well, to=  a
multitude of NT4 domain controllers. In that world, there really
was a m= apping, but that's not true in the simplified world of
Adauth.  In light of the comments, it's probably better to drop
the package in its e= ntirety until I have time to address the
structural issues highlighted.
