Possible to authenticate against OpenLDAP?

[JeyDee]

I'm trying to connect Paperwork, a note-taking application that utilizes adldap to authenticate against an OpenLDAP server. The problem is, that OpenLDAP uses the uid-attribute to search for user names, as you can see here:

conn=1018 op=1 SRCH base="dc=xxx,dc=de" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=testperson))"
conn=1018 op=1 SRCH attr=uid modifyTimestamp cn mail

And adldap seems to use samaccountname instead:

conn=1055 op=1 SRCH base="dc=xxx,dc=de" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(?objectCategory=person)(?samaccountname=testperson))"
conn=1055 op=1 SRCH attr=samaccountname mail memberof department displayname telephonenumber primarygroupid objectsid

Both snippets are from the /var/log/syslog. Is there a way to change the attributes used to search for persons by specifying the right configuration parameters?
