Replying to myself… Empirically, changing the following two lines in the LDAP configuration seems to have worked:
user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n))
and
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n))
My question remains, though, why was the original username getting rewritten by
default?
