I'm afraid that in this case Active Directory is correct.  "cn" is
"Canonical Name" which in the context of a person should be the legal
name (usually first + last) although an initial or middle name is
probably perfectly legal.

User name should be stored in "uid."

AD is the correct implementation.  Actually AD isn't such a bad LDAP
server,  the continued reliance on old RPC operations is the real
problem with the full Active Directory Domain implementation.

A full blown user object might look something like (although this will
differ between sites) -
