Hi @rameezimtiaz

So you have ANOTHER user’s display name, want the AD username, and can’t use Powershell.

You might be able to use LDAP. Check out the first solution here and pull what you need.

@Lokesh.Bysani could you please help me with how you retrieved the SAMAccountName from the Common name? What all properties/settings do we need to configure?
