Feature Request

After the integration of LDAP authentication (thanks for that!), a new field ‘username’ should be implemented, since the LDAP user name usually does not correspond to the readable user name and also does not contain any spaces. e.g. Normally the uid/sAMAccountname is e.g. like lastname_firstname.
Now we have

0|id|VARCHAR(255)|1||0
1|name|VARCHAR(255)|1||0
2|email|VARCHAR(255)|1||0
3|role|VARCHAR(255)|1||0
4|profile_image_url|TEXT|1||0
5|api_key|VARCHAR(255)|0||0
6|created_at|INTEGER|1||0
7|updated_at|INTEGER|1||0
8|last_active_at|INTEGER|1||0
9|settings|TEXT|0||0
10|info|TEXT|0||0
11|oauth_sub|TEXT|0||0

Maybe the uid should be a new field instead of the "name" which is the Full Name with email-login/registration. The Full name ('name') field is in Active Directory most times something like the givenName (sometimes givenName + sn)
