+**UserPrincipalName** - The attribute userPrincipalName is the attribute users use when they sign in to Azure AD and Office 365. The domains used, also known as the UPN-suffix, should be verified in Azure AD before the users are synchronized. Microsoft recommends to keep the default attribute userPrincipalName. If this attribute is non-routable and cannot be verified, then it is possible to select another attribute. You can for example select email as the attribute holding the sign-in ID. Using another attribute than userPrincipalName is known as **Alternate ID**. The Alternate ID attribute value must follow the RFC822 standard. An Alternate ID can be used with password hash sync, pass-through authentication, and federation. The attribute must not be defined in Active Directory as multi-valued, even if it only has a single value.
