Is it possible to use email address (in LDAP) as login name for websphere po

Our ldap has following attributes
email, uid

We want to achieve following
Login using the email
but the DN should be uid=xxx,ou=...

Yes, it's possible. You need to set userFilter in security.xml to something
like (&(|(mail=%v)(uid=%v))(objectclass=...)).
