Definition

This is a standard attribute, see RFC 4519

Identifies the unique identifier for this user or resource within its relative namespace. All valid user and resource entries must have a uid attribute. Group entries may have a uid.

For Messaging Server, the uid is used to generate the user address to pass to the delivery channel. If a user entry does not have a uid attribute, the entry is ignored. If multiple uid attributes exist in an entry, only the first one is used. The MTA used to override this attribute&#x27;s value is LDAP_UID.
