Description (last modified by )
Somewhere should advise to:
- Not use a nickname as an LDAP account, its giving half of the information to login (the other half is the password)

Probably related to #2207 Users might want to use the nickname as permalink and their LDAP account is their nickname.

I've to say I find using nickname as LDAP username is very useful to find each other. Remmeber we support LDAP usernames to mention people in Trac. For instance I could write cvvergara in the Cc field of this ticket to ensure you get email notifications.
Requiring longer passwords and maybe password expiration would be good security improvements. Ticket #1680 might provide both.
