    I have not used the "LDAP User Profile Synchronization with UserName" plugin but one work around I can think of is, Supervisor is not a mandatory field while creating a user. So can you try doing this
    1. Create the user from LDAP (without setting the Supervisor field)
    2. Save the value - "(CN=user2,CN=Users,DC=appianldap,DC=com)" in a process variable say "managerFromLDAP"
    3. Use the Update user Profile Node to set the supervisor using the expression - topeople(index(split(split(pv!managerFromLDAP,","),"="),2,0) OR touser(index(split(split(pv!managerFromLDAP,","),"="),2,0).
    Hope this helps.
