<!-- This template is a great use for issues that are feature::additions or technical tasks for larger issues.--> ### Proposal This feature proposal is for enabling the option to filter commits by LDAP name instead of GitLab's user name. When searching commits on Gitlab, it is possible to filter them by author ('Search by author' option). For example: - When an author is selected (e.g. Ricardo Leite), we get results filtered for this *author's name* ([https://PROJECT_URL/-/commits/master?author=Ricardo%20Leite](https://PROJECT_URL/-/commits/master?author=Ricardo%2520Leite). When we are using LDAP to sync users and we use *LDAP name* as author name when we commit the code, **we want to be able to search the commits based on *LDAP name***, not *user name* (e.g. https://PROJECT_URL/-/commits/master?author=rleite, where rleite is LDAP name of the user Ricardo Leite). <!-- Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work. It can be helpful to add technical details, design proposals, and links to related epics or issues. --> <!-- Consider adding related issues and epics to this issue. You can also reference the Feature Proposal Template (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Feature%20proposal%20-%20detailed.md) for additional details to consider adding to this issue. Additionally, as a data oriented organization, when your feature exits planning breakdown, consider adding the `What does success look like, and how can we measure that?` section. -->
