xxxx/xx/xx xx:xx:xx [W] Failed to login 'user@company.com' via 'local_ldap': Invalid pattern for attribute 'username' [user@company.com]: must be valid alpha or numeric or dash(-_) or dot characters
xxxx/xx/xx xx:xx:xx [I] Failed authentication attempt for user@company.com from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Description

Additional information:

• OpenLDAP: 2.4.45
• Authentication type: LDAP (simple auth)
• User DN: uid=%s,ou=my_ou,dc=example,dc=com
• User Filter: (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=%s))

Obviously the "@" character is not in a class of allowed characters for "username". Will it be possible to add the "@" in the next version?

Sorry, I put the issue in the comment field instead of the description field.

There was already request to add this but @ can not be added as allowed character as could lead to side effects in other places later on. It would be ok tho to have it replaced or domain part removed for username with additional option

I have seen that you can also authenticate via SMTP. For now this is a workaround. Thanks for the quick answer.
