we are using dovecot --version: 2.3.9.3 (9f41b88fa) with LDAP integration

Just discovered the the config which was working for a while is not working now. (we are constantly upgrading dovecot).

we have smtp/imap/pop3/sieveEnabled field in our LDAP directory to control which user is able to use witch services.

The pass filter was used for control the usage for years now with %LsEnabled filter (see below at config dump)

We just discovered that this filter is not working anymore! We not even see any pass_filter queries in LDAP.

We see user_filter queries but no pass_filter queries.

Did we miss something in the changelog?
