Tools need help sorting and combining files

I have 2 files with many lines.

File one example:
CN=VXX,CN=ug88888,OU=America,OU=State,OU=VXX,
File two example:
ul22222 Jon Smith
ug8888 Mildred Apple
I need a routine that will take the ug88888 portion of the first file and pull out the corresponding full line in file two. Then add the two together so the final output is
ug8888 Mildred Apple CN=VXX,CN=ug88888,OU=America,OU=State,OU=VXX,

Thanks,

Sorry, let me try that again.

Code:

ul22222 Jon Smith
ug88888 Mildred Apple

file2
CN=VXX,CN=ug88888,OU=America,OU=State,OU=VXX,

awk '{
   if (NR==FNR)
      x[$1] = $0
   else {
      FS=","
      split($2,a,"=")
      if (x[a[2]])
         print x[a[2]], $0
   }
}' file1 file2
