## Changes

09/17/2021: An error in the LDAP functionality was discovered when the proposed user name exceeded 20 characters.  Unfortunately Active Directory has this limitation in the length of the sAMAccountName attribute in order to provide backward compatibility to pre-win2000 calls.  
It was realized that an assumption had been made that the login name and the sAMAccountName were interchangable.  This has been fixed.
