uid is supposed to be globally unique. Often it is a short name you might consider a login name value. It is unlikely that the user wants to login as Derek Carter2 they probably want to login as dcarter or carterd or somesuch. Do you maintain such a value? Conversely, folk often use the email address as the login id, since it must be globally unique. Or at worst, the stuff before the @ sign in the email address, if it is your email domain. I.e. All users in your email domain, should have unique bits before the @ sign.

In that case, use that data in the uid attribute. Or else change the LDAP mapping that takes the passed in login name, and looks at mail instead of uid.
