When the political configuration of LDAP authentication, it is recommended to use sAMAccountName logon server attribute name for deploying XenApp / XenDesktop and userPrincipalName logon server Name attribute for deployment XenMobile but ideally two works for deployments

notes -. You can not create multiple LDAP authentication policies using the same IP address of the LDAP server in this wizard as the LDAP name of the policy and action name LDAP self-generated conflicts. For example, if you want to configure a policy that uses sAMAccountName in the logon server name attribute field and a second LDAP strategy that uses the userPrincipalName (UPN) in the logon server name field Attribute then it is not possible through this wizard, but can be achieved by creating an LDAP strategy manager of the legacy policy.
