A boolean that specifies whether an Active Directory configuration can use an email address or User Principal Name (UPN) as the user short name.

If the value of this property is false, the Active Directory security provider parses login user names (principal names) to determine if the name is in UPN format, meaning that it contains an @ character followed by at least one dot character (for example, jsmith@mydomain.com). If the principal name is in UPN format, it is assumed to take the form name@domain, where name is the user name and domain is the name of an Active Directory domain configured in Administration Console for Content Platform Engine. This special handling can be useful in some large Active Directory forest and domain setups, but prevents email addresses and certain UPNs from being used as the user short name.

If the value of this property is true, the Active Directory security provider does not parse the principal name, which allows email addresses and UPNs to be used as the user short name. Setting this property to true implies that ReturnNameAsDN is also set to true.

This property has a global effect. Therefore, it must be set the same (either all true or all false) for all Active Directory configurations defined for a Content Engine. If this property is not set the same for all configurations, the property value is implicitly false.
