Re: LDAP ldapsearch filter: return uidNumber if person has sub ou=mail

It is overly complex.

The entire idea is, that each user can have several mail addresses.

I have such a setup with dovecot.

For each *mailbox* (not system user) I have a separate LDAP entry with its own password and multiple aliases.

In my case I'm not using the uidNumber attribute because my dovecot installation simply uses vmail:vmail for user/group ownership of the mailbox files.

But of course you could also add the 'posixAccount' object class to your mailbox entries.
