May you please clarify that? Where should I omit the userdb_ prefix? Which of my attempts are you pointing at?
As stated, I omitted the userdb_ prefix when working with an LDAP attribute.

I tried to use an LDAP attribute and mapping it to userdb_acl_globals_only and another try with acl_globals_only. Both attributes were not considered by the lookup. Another try was to use a separate passwd-userdb for this attribute only. When placing the passwd-userdb before the ldap-userdb the ldap attributes are not considered. If the ldap-userdb is placed before the passwd-userdb, the extra attribute is not considered. I think this is a wanted behaviour.
