   I'm not sure whether these changes (in spirit) nor [GUACAMOLE-1511](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1511) are actually necessary:
   
   * The LDAP support does allow for lookup of users based on their UPN. This would involve using `userPrincipalName` for the username attribute.
   * Multiple LDAP servers are supported via the recently-introduced multi-server LDAP support. Users can be mapped to their relevant LDAP server based on username patterns, and then the search account can narrow that to a specific user once the relevant server is determined.
   
   I know that Active Directory allows for binding with UPNs, and so adding a feature that would tell Guacamole to accept usernames matching that pattern and attempt to bind with those usernames directly would make configuration easier, but I'm not sure that's what these changes or [GUACAMOLE-1511](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1511) are intended to be.
