924	LDAP authentication: configurable user attribute (currently: always 'uid')	sumpfralle		"Currently user authentication works for a DN like the following:
{{{
dn: cn=USERNAME,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
}}}

Sadly the email retrieval fails to work since it relies on the fact that there is an attribute {{{uid=USERNAME}}}.

This assumption is not always valid (see above: {{{cn=USERNAME}}}).

Thus it would be reasonable to use the first part of the {{{LDAP_USER_DN_TEMPLATE}}} for the filter condition within the email handling code (instead of {{{uid=USERNAME}}}). See the attached patch for an implementation of this approach."	defect	new	minor		programming		ldap, uid
