search group membership use uid instead of userDN in LDAP provider

[Charles546]

This tool is almost like a Swiss army knife for authentication. I can put it in front of almost everything. Only problem is that the group in my ldap server use uid to list members instead of using DN. I can't find a way to make it work. I would really like to use uid attribute to lookup for the groups of a member.

This indeed isn't possible currently as I've never thought anyone would use the uid in a member or uniqueMember attribute in a group. (I've always seen DNs in those attributes…)

I've assembled a currently untested patch in #9 which should allow you to do this by changing the group query to (|(member={1})(uniqueMember={1})) in case you are using the uid as username_attribute. Please test if this works for you and I'm going to merge this in! 🙂

(If you are not fluent with building Go projects I can provide a binary or Docker container for your test, just tell me what you need to test the change.)

Closed by #9, included in v0.8.0 release
