filter on email for auth with pam_ldap

["Gary C. New" <garycnew@yahoo.com>]

Has anyone successfully been able to get pam_ldap to
authenticate using the user's email address?

I tried reconfiguring my ldap.conf file with:

pam_login_attribute mailLocalAddress

but in the syslogs it shows the authentication query
as uid=user@domain.tld.  Shouldn't it filter as
mailLocalAddress=user@domain.tld?  I thought that is
what the pam_login_attribute config option was for.

I even tried playing around with:

pam_template_login_attribute

and

pam_filter

but neither seemed to provide the desired results.

I would appreciate any advice or success stories.

Respectfully,


Gary
