Description

While most LDAP parameters are self-explanatory and don't really need any documentation, the LDAP filter syntax isn't. The admin needs to know the variable/character string that is used for replacing the user entered username during login process. I didn't see any place in the wiki or the man pages that talks about this.

If someone gives me the info, I'll update the wiki.

That's a really valid point about the lack of clear documentation for the LDAP filter syntax! It's great that most parameters are intuitive, but that filter piece is crucial for customizing authentication. I remember struggling with that myself when setting up a similar system. It's almost like you're blindly skiing down a hill hoping you don't crash, a little like the first time you try Snow Rider 3D! Clearer documentation would definitely save admins a lot of time and frustration. Thanks for highlighting this.
