That's kind of the point of auth_bind_userdn. It avoids one LDAP
lookup which would get the uid from LDAP. It might be possible to
also do this later by adding uid=user in user_attrs, but I'm not sure
about this. You could however use eg. %Lu in the auth_bind_userdn to
make the username always lowercase.
