auxiliary class of type eperson and uid attribute is added to the LDAP user ID.

What to do next
If you intend to enable single sign-on (SSO) so that users can log in one time and
then traverse to other applications without having to reauthenticate, see the Tivoli
Integrated Portal information about how to configure SSO.

user repositories.
