Other ways to transform binary LDAP balues?

Dear all,

I would like to use the objectGUID, a 128-bit binary value that comes
from an LDAP server, as either the ePUID or ePPN, based on the
configuration described here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj205463.aspx

How would I convert objectGUID into a bignum
111487613748703971219535939675916290004 or a UUID like
53dfbbbe-7198-4d09-a859-bfe38e7347d4?  The LDAPProperty name
java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary base64-encodes the objectGUID, but
I'm afraid that the encoding will break apps that receive identifiers
that look like vrvfU5hxCU2oWb/jjnNH1A==@irtnog.org.  I wasn't able to
find a suitable environment variable similar to
java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary on docs.oracle.com, and I don't know
where else to look. 

Best wishes,
Matthew
