Update on Mapping User in Enterprise User Security (Central Database Account Administration)

When you map a user in Enterprise User Security (EUS) - I found that you can indeed avoid mapping the user in Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) if you provide the complete syntax when creating/altering the user.

So for example:

alter user hr identified globally as 'cn=Mark Wilcox,cn=Users,dc=ovddemo,dc=com';

Should allow you to then login as Mark Wilcox using his uid value (e.g. mwilcox).

I'm sure I read that in Knox's book before but it didn't sink in until I was asked about this at OOW last week.
