I believe you have stated the issue very precisely, Alexander.

 

Pretty much all LDAP-integrated applications have ability to specify attribute names and objectclass names in their configuration to be able to adopt to various LDAP schemas.

 

I am pushing this idea at VMware Support.

Ability to remap names of attributes requested by vCenter would have helped to solve this difference.

 

Many thanks.
