[Dovecot] [BUG?] LDAP authentication with aliases issues
Hello,
I am trying to configure Dovecot with LDAP authentication. My LDAP tree structure is as following: dc=root,dc=pl \_ ou=Users \_ uid=test \_ ou=Mail \_ ou=domain.pl \_ uid=alias_to_test
I cannot authenticate using 'uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl'. If I try to authenticate using 'uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl', following entry appears in the Dovecot's log file:
#v+

In the LDAP server log file, following entries appear during authentication attempt

It seems that LDAP AuthDatabase doesn't change the context when looking up for the target object, to which the alias points. Futhermore, the filter for the target object '(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=test))' was not defined by me anywhere in the configuration file 'dovecot-ldap.ext'. I have tried both authentication ways: 'password lookups' and 'authentication binding' with the same result. However, There is no problem to authenticate as 'uid=test,ou=Users,dc=root,dc=pl' (of cource after modifying the configuration file listed at the end).
I suppose that it can be a bug in LDAP AuthDatabase, so I am writing this post as a potential bug report.
Below are my configuration data:

nobody? nothing? is there any chance that author of authentication ldap module will fix this problem?
