I have a replication with a 389 DS server and my AD domain. According to the documentation the field used to control the replication is "NT user ID" on 389 DS and it is populated from Active directory´s field "<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;text-align:left;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">sAMAccountName".</span><div>
