I don't think I care that much, and just leave it as it is.

If I did some more guessing, its because microsoft uses person the old ldap
code uses person.

It should be simple enough to just have a runtime option.

The idea was not to use way too much force.

I was thinking more something like microsoft's
altSecurity(Identity|Principal) (?).
