We've been running FMPro server advanced 9 & 10 on a Xserve G5  
(10.5.8) that was also the office open directory server. User access  
to the files on the FMPro server was authenticated from the OD master,  
but that happened to be running on the same machine. Everything worked  
fine.

I recently upgraded to FMPro Server Advanced 11, so had to get an  
Intel machine to run it on. It's now running on an Xserve Intel  
running Snow Leopard, and it's still authenticating to the office OD  
master running on the Xserve G5. I set it up in the Server11 admin,  
and hit the test button, and it works. Initial real world testing  
found users were being rejected on authentication. But we figured out  
that they could authenticate using their shortname.... but only the  
FIRST shortname. The account name (long name) won't work, and neither  
will any alternate shortnames.

If I HAVE to, I can live with this, but my users have gotten use to  
using the long name, which is also the default user name that comes up  
in the authentication window. Plus, I have a startup script that is  
using that user name to set some preferences. That still works for  
most of my users, but one who's first shortname is complete different  
format than everyone else's, doesn't work without a hack.

Any help would be appreciated.
