Can we customize showLogin.cc to let users enter other attributes about an AD account to look it up for management?

We were wondering if we could customize showLogin.cc to let users enter other attributes about an AD account to look it up for management?

Use case in a nutshell...

We have a legacy application (in use for about 15 years now) that uses two pieces of info to be unique (let's call it Company and Username). There could be many Usernames with a value of "jim" but only one for each Company. Each company represents a customer of ours and may even represent a part of a customer (like a division or a particular location). That way, "jim" can be a user in CompanyOne, CompanyTwo and CompanyTwo-West Coast.

We're transitioning the authentication mechanism to AD. To make unique AD samAccoiuntName objects, we opted to concatenate Company_Username. However, we want to hide this from the user. We have custom attributes on each AD object to hold "Username" and "Company". We can be certain the combination is unique because Company_Username must be unique. They would all live in the same AD domain.

Can we modify showLogin.cc to use our own custom attributes to be input to look up the samAccountName via our custom AD object attributes? Or are we only limited to just a "User Name" that represents the samAccountName?
