Description

In the logging page, LDAP user information is noted with the LDAP DN (example 9E687586-A104-CB8-8582-5SZ1DEC4CHE) and not the username, which does not make it easy to read.

It would be nice to have the username instead or both.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the logging page and the code that formats LDAP user information, then determine whether the username is available alongside the DN. Done means the logging output shows the username instead of, or in addition to, the LDAP DN.
