Andreas,

Why not just use mail rather than uid in your dn.  That
should always be unique.  It has always seemed much simpler
to me.  For example my users dn is:

dn:
mail=eculp at viviendaatualcance.com.mx,ou=people,o=an_ldap_base

another is:

dn: mail=eculp at encontacto.net,ou=people,o=an_ldap_base

it is also trivial to separate into $user=eculp and
$vdomain=encontacto.net by just using a couple of php
functions that you will find in horde/hooks.php like

$uid = Auth::getBareAuth(); or
$uid = preg_replace('|@.*|i', '', Auth::getAuth();
and
$vdomain = preg_replace('|.*@|i', '', Auth::getAuth(); or if
you want/need to use HTTP_HOST:
$vdomain =
strtolower(preg_replace('/^mail\.|^www\.|^www\.mail\./i',
'', $_SERVE
R['HTTP_HOST']));

Hope this helps a bit,
